Maurice has worked to reduce barriers to treatment, and provide community & health support to HIV-positive Portlanders, with Cascade AIDS Project and with the Multnomah County Health Department. We are looking forward to discussing Maurice's work in our community, and the state of HIV/AIDS care more generally in our community.
We'll talk with Avram Finkelstein, author of After Silence: A History of AIDS through Its Images.
We'll also be talking with Roya Amirsoleymani of the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA), on World AIDS Day events this coming weekend, hosted by PICA - Sarah Schulman in Portland! For more info on those events, see below.
