Mapping Stigma: An Archive of the Contracting an Issue Project May 3 – July 27, 2019 Leedy-Voulkos Art Center / 2020 Baltimore, Kansas City, MO. 64108 Archival and new works from GK Callahan’s ongoing, decade-long study surrounding HIV/AIDS.
Mapping Stigma: An Archive of the Contracting an Issue Project presents archival and new works from GK Callahan’s ongoing, decade-long study of the social issues surrounding HIV/AIDS. This work springs from real life voices in the communities of San Francisco, Kansas City, Tampa and Tanzania, Africa. The layered visual works will also be accompanied by educational workshops and panel discussions to occur once a month during the exhibition’s three-month run.
Curated by Kansas City art critic and curator Blair Schulman, this work calls attention to the cultural responses concerning criminalization, representation, and stigmatization of HIV/AIDS. Comprising photography, video, painting, installation and works on paper, the exhibition is broken out into four distinct sections of the gallery space and includes work from the Zekana women of Tanzania, Bruce Burstert and many other collaborators.
