The Provincetown AIDS Art Archives was established
in 1994 by the Provincetown Community Compact,
Inc. for the purpose of documenting the
lives and work of Lower Cape Cod visual artists,
performing artists, writers, and composers who
have died of AIDS-related causes.
If you have any photos, writings, images, press
clippings, or additional names please contact Ewa Nogiec ewa@iamprovincetown.com.
What is AIDS?
What is it?
I don't know. All I know is that I hate it.
But what is it?
I don't know. Because of it, my life will never
be the same. I hate it.
What is it?
A monster, a virus, a war, a monkey virus, a
drug virus, chemical warfare, God's judgement,
a population decrese. I don't know. I hate it.
What is it?
It is sorrow, it is pain, it is regret.
It destroys, it saddens. I hate it.
What is it?
It gives you fevers, chills, the sweats, the
shits, PCP, Kaposi's Sarcoma, MAI, TB.
It starves you, it blinds you; it disfigures.
It gives you "thrush" -- Candida --
craters in the back of your throat. You can't
swallow.
You can't breathe.
You can't walk; you can't talk.
You can't write; you can't think. I hate it.
But what is it?
It took my son. I hate it!
