The development of antiretroviral drugs in 1996 was a pivotal moment in the AIDS pandemic, allowing many with HIV to lead healthy lives. However, in 2018, new outbreaks of transmissions, added to the lack of up-to-date therapies, still take a toll in some communities worldwide. This fall at MACBA, the collective Equipo re presents its research and production work on the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis in Spain, Chile and other Latin American contexts, as framed around two story lines: the ways of doing in/the public sphere and the pharmacologization of life. The exhibition features documents, literature and audiovisual materials, including the work of the cultural activist group Act Up-Barcelona and the making of artist Keith Haring’s Barcelona mural “Together We Can Stop AIDS.”
