The HIV Howler: Transmitting Art + Activism is a collaborative platform for artist’s publishing and HIV/AIDS cultural production. In conjunction with the International AIDS conference in the Bay Area, The HIV Howler will create three programs for local artists and activists to exhibit, perform, and collaborate in public dialogue on HIV/AIDS. A limited edition publication, an exhibition, and community performance series hosted both San Francisco and Oakland in July 2020 are envisioned as a cultural intervention for Bay Area artists working at the intersection of political activism, HIV/AIDS, and artist publishing to host a truly global exchange.
