The first exhibition in Italy to focus on the HIV-Aids crisis
The article reviews the exhibition 'VIVONO – Art and Affect: HIV-AIDS in Italy, 1982–1996' at Centro Pecci, Prato. It highlights Nan Goldin as a key international artist whose work is deeply integrated into the Italian context of the HIV-AIDS crisis. The text specifically details her 1986 series from Naples with Cookie Mueller and her 1990s 'Junkie Madonna' photograph. The exhibition aims to move beyond mourning to celebrate the generative alliances, intimacy, and joy found within communities affected by the crisis during that era.
