Day With(out) Art 2025

Tisch School of the Arts presents Meet Us Where We’re At for Day With(out) Art in partnership with @visual_aids

For Day With(out) Art 2025, Visual AIDS announces Meet Us Where We're At, a program of six videos that forefront the experiences of drug users and harm reduction practices as they intersect with the ongoing HIV crisis. It will feature newly commissioned videos by:

Kenneth Idongesit Usoro (Nigeria)
Hoàng Thái Anh (Vietnam)
Gustavo Vinagre & Vinicius Couto (Brazil/Portugal)
Camilo Tapia Flores (Chile/Brazil)
Camila Flores-Fernández (Peru/Germany)
José Luis Cortés (Puerto Rico)

Meet Us Where We’re At speaks not only to the variety of physical locations where contemporary harm reduction is practiced, but also to a broader shift: centering drug users as authors of their own experiences. Rooted in the philosophy of meeting people at their personal reality without judgment, the program affirms the full context of drug use—its pleasures, its risks, and its role in how people survive, care, and connect.

As this is a program centering harm reduction, it will contain depictions of sexual activity and drug use.

The hour-long video program will premiere on December 1, 2025, World AIDS Day/Day With(out) Art. Visual AIDS partners with museums, galleries, universities, and organizations around the world to present free screenings on/around December 1. 

Meet Us Where We're At will be screened on a loop in Room 1164 on the 11th floor of 721 Broadway on Monday December 1 from 10am to 5pm.

Visual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over.
