“My Friends Gave Me Their Love”: Friendship and Resistance During the AIDS Crisis

JUL 2, 202513 MIN

Description

Join artist and photographer Lola Flash for a six-part podcast series exploring New York City during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and ‘90s.  In this final episode, Flash takes a quick trip north to Harlem, where Idris Mignott and Pamela Sneed discuss the impact of AIDS on Black and Brown folks in the city. Then, she concludes with a reflection on the state of AIDS today, calling upon the perspectives of a queer elder who lives through the crisis and a younger person who was born after its peak.  Learn more about Lola Flash, her work, and the stories shared in this project at https://www.moma.org/magazine/articles/1222
