As a part of the project On Illness, Resistance and Collective (Health) Care, District* School without Center is hosting a one-day get-together to explore memories of care, art and activism of HIV/AIDS in Berlin and beyond. Using films, conversations, and stories, we would like to explore how remembering the histories and ongoing struggles of collective organising in HIV/AIDS activism helps us think into present day experiences of healthcare.
