Due May 1
To:

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: The HIV HOWLER: Transmitting Art and Activism Issue 4
on Movement-Migration

Deadline: May 1, 2019

YOU ARE INVITED TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK TO the 4th issue of The HIV Howler:
Transmitting Art and Activism, a newspaper focusing on global grassroots
HIV art and cultural production, to be released in July 2019.

The HIV Howler: Transmitting Art and Activism is a limited edition art
newspaper focusing on global grassroots HIV art and cultural production.
Artists have and continue to play a fundamental role in shaping broader
societal understandings of HIV and working within communities that are most
impacted by the virus: queer and trans people, people who use drugs, sex
workers, people of colour, and indigenous peoples. Together we reflect the
immediacy and urgency of global HIV/AIDS dialogues as well as their
historical continuities.

The HIV Howler is a forum for dialogue, a demand for aesthetic
self-determination, a response to tokenism, and a guide to navigating the
vibrational ambiguities between policy, pathology, and community.
