What Would an HIV Doula Do? A Reflective Walkthrough of Love & Fury

Join Poster House and the cultural collective What Would an HIV Doula Do? (WWHIVDD) for a special walkthrough of Love & Fury: New York’s Fight Against AIDS. Members of WWHIVDD will guide visitors through the exhibition by pausing on select posters and sharing personal reflections, lived experiences, and added context to deepen viewers’ experiences of the work on view.

Through shared contemplation and open dialogue, this walkthrough will offer a more personal and community-centered way to move through the exhibition.

What Would an HIV Doula Do? is a community of people joined in response to the ongoing AIDS crisis. We understand a doula as someone who holds space during times of transition. We understand HIV as a series of transitions that begin long before a person is tested and that continue after treatment and beyond. We know that since no one gets HIV alone, no one should have to live with HIV alone. We doula ourselves, each other, institutions, and culture. Asking questions is foundational to our process.
