Pera Film continues its annual I’m Here! program, initiated to raise awareness for World AIDS Day, with the video selection Red Reminds Me… curated by the contemporary art organization Visual AIDS.
Red Reminds Me… consists of seven videos created by artists worldwide, reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today. The program takes its name from the words of Stacy Jennings, an activist and poet who has lived with HIV for many years: “Red reminds me, red reminds me, red reminds me … to be free.” Jennings associates the color red with freedom, subverting its conventional associations and offering a new perspective on the complexities of living with HIV.
Through the red ribbon and other visual symbols, HIV and AIDS have long been linked to red and its connotations of blood, pain, tragedy, and anger. Red Reminds Me… invites spectators to consider the multifaceted imagery and emotions surrounding HIV, including themes of eroticism and intimacy, motherhood and kinship, luck and fate, memory and the unforgettable. The artists in the program employ elements of parody, melodrama, theater, irony, and horror to forge a new narrative language that represents HIV today.
This program’s screenings are free admission. Drop in, no reservations. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.
