Life & Death in Black & White: AIDS Direct Action in San Francisco, 1985-1990A new exhibition at The GLBT History Museum, Life & Death in Black & White: AIDS Direct Action in San Francisco, 1985–1990, focuses on the work of five queer photographers who documented the emergence of militant AIDS activism in San Francisco through the medium of black-and-white film. With sharp focus and deep compassion, they turned their lenses on their own community, capturing outrage and sorrow, courage and wit, a fierce will to live and a deep commitment to honor the dying and remember the dead. The exhibition features the work of Jane Philomen Cleland, Patrick Clifton, Marc Geller, Rick Gerharter and Daniel Nicoletta. Some of their images have become icons of the era; others have never before been publicly displayed. All of them portray civil disobedience as a response not only to a fatal disease, but also to discrimination, indifference and official neglect. All bear forceful witness to a time when San Francisco experienced both some of its darkest hours and one of its most inspiring movements for social justice. "Life & Death in Black & White: AIDS Direct Action in San Francisco, 1985–1990" is open March 1 through July 1 in the front gallery of The GLBT History Museum. A public reception with the photographers and the curators is set for Thursday, March 15, 7:00–9:00 p.m. Admission to the exhibition and the reception is included in the price of tickets for the museum: $5.00 (general); $3.00 (California students with ID); free for members. 4127 18th St. • San Francisco
