The event explores artistic approaches and research on HIV/AIDS as archival practices and took place within the context of the exhibition Viral Intimacies, curated by Ahmed Awadalla (Madi), Tomás Espinosa, Elisabeth Krämer, Samuel Perea-Díaz, Hanna Schaich, and Max Schnepf at nGbK in Berlin.

The event is featuring a talk by artist, a performance by Benny Nemer, lectures by David Aaron Swartz and Siân Cook, a conversation with filmmaker Carla Simón, and a screening of her film Estiu 1993 (Summer 1993), a personal work that reflects on loss, memory, and AIDS from the perspective of a child.
