Prostitutes, Risk, and AIDS

Prostitutes, Risk, and AIDS

Sex work, AIDS, safer sex, AIDS activism, female fillmaker

Made with Jean Carlomusto for the Gay Men's Health Crisis' "Living with AIDS" show, a weekly cable show on public access. Starring collaborator Carol Leigh. Carol was a subject of my book and documentary, Women of Vision. More of her work is available in this collection and I collaborated with her many more times over her storied career, including with students who used this archive, and some of its tapes, to make community-based art work connected to the ideas and approaches of these videos and the political circumstances of the present.
