Kim co-hosts a panel with Regie Cabico: “Vital Signs: DC and the Poetry of AIDS.” Presented as part of the Culture Series, sponsored by Humanities DC. Panelists Christopher Prince, Dan Vera, and Terence Winch will speak about the continuing relevance of such writers who died young of AIDS as Essex Hemphill, Reinaldo Arenas, and Tim Dlugos. We will discuss how DC nurtured–and challenged–the artists and writers who lived through the AIDS crisis, and what current residents can learn from their legacy to help ignite out resistance to the challenges of our own time. New Books Stage on the first floor. Free admission.
