Prostitutes, Risk, and AIDS
Dublin Core
Title
Prostitutes, Risk, and AIDS
Subject
Sex work, AIDS, safer sex, AIDS activism, female fillmaker
Description
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.
