How can attention to artistic practices and visual interventions from across the global mosaic of local contexts contribute meaningfully to the decentring of hegemonic narratives and research on art and HIV/AIDS? What new configurations of work from across both global south and north are necessary to re-assess the histories of this epidemic, and intervene in its ongoing present? This conference invites papers that examine the state of the field in the study of art, visual culture and HIV/AIDS, presenting recent or ongoing research projects that seek to complicate understandings of this vast area of contemporary life.
