We Care: Video for Careproviders of People Affected by AIDS, Women’s AIDS Video Enterprise (WAVE)
32 mins. (1990)
Sunday March 16, 2 pm
The Women’s AIDS Video Enterprise (WAVE) was a unique “video support” group sponsored by the Brooklyn AIDS Task Force and arts funding organizations. For six months, seven women met to share information about providing care to people with AIDS with a particular focus on communities of colour in NYC. “We Care” is the group’s final project.
This program accompanies Alex Martinis Roe’s exhibition Storytelling Liberation. Intended as invitation, resource and instrument, the exhibition seeks to foster international anti-colonial and feminist alliances by sharing tools for telling stories about social justice movements.
Storytelling Liberation was made in collaboration with Katerina Teaiwa, ASKI Contemporary Greek Social History Archives, Gladys Kalichini, Alexandra Juhasz, Andrea Ortega and Diana Betanzos.
