Linking the ongoing history of HIV/AIDS to the latest pandemic, Theodore (ted) Kerr focuses on Oliver Husain and Kerstin Schroedinger’s DNCB project. Named after a photochemical that was taken up as an experimental AIDS treatment, DNCB homes in on the complex psychology of a community alienated by government, press, and the medical establishment.

Theodore Kerr asks: how do you memorialize an ongoing crisis? Introducing the history of AIDS memorials and the work of artist and performance scholar Marc Arthur, Kerr suggests that not forgetting is not enough. Instead, the best memorial is realized by actively supporting the work of those living with HIV.
