With a series of socially aware events this December, the City of Dallas and its Oak Cliff Cultural Center are joining a global movement that will put the current HIV/AIDS conversation into sharper focus. In partnership with Visual AIDS, the Center is encouraging Dallas residents to attend “Day With(out) Art 2024: Red Reminds Me” on Saturday, December 7, which will feature powerful artwork and important discussions on HIV today.
The “Red Reminds Me…” film series, which features the creations of seven worldwide artists who have elevated the story of HIV beyond its historically tragic color, will be shown to guests from 2:00 to 6:00 PM. The series encompasses a prism of experiences and thoughts on the virus, touching on topics ranging from kinship to sexuality, according to the City of Dallas announcement. Notably, this day of group mourning and education will be guided by a dialogue between Tamera Garrett and Yolanda Bell and a group grieving process led by Ofelia Alvarenga.
Practical health activities aren’t being overlooked in conjunction with these eye-opening screenings; the AIDS Healthcare Foundation will also have a mobile STD testing station available. The collaboration between Visual AIDS and the Oak Cliff Cultural Center for this event highlights the multifaceted strategy for actively addressing the ongoing effects of AIDS in the community, rather than merely talking about them.
