University Galleries is partnering with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2022 by presenting Being and Belonging, a program of seven new videos centering the emotional reality of living with HIV today.

The looped screening of the videos will begin at 1 p.m. and run until 5 p.m. Thursday, December 1, at the University Galleries, 11 Uptown Circle, Suite 103, Normal. The full loop runs for approximately 55 minutes, and audience members can join or leave at any point during the screening. 

The program, commissioned by Visual AIDS, features new work by Clifford Prince King, Jaewon Kim, Mikiki, Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes, Camila Arce, Jhoel Zempoalteca and La Jerry, and Camilo Acosta Huntertexas and Santiago Lemus.

A day of mourning and action that uses art to respond to the ongoing HIV and AIDS crisis, Day With(out) Art encourages museums, universities, and art institutions to present related programming on or around World AIDS Day on December 1. University Galleries has been participating in Day With(out) Art each year since it was started in 1989.
