Lost & Found: Dance, New York, HIV/AIDS, Then and Now/ Danspace Project

By Judy Hussie-Taylor, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Will Rawls, Jaime Shearn Coan

“We were baffled. We were angry. We were terrified. We were wary of sharing a glass of water. But we also learned how to nurture and care for the sick and the dying. We made art, those of us who were dying and those of us who survived. Surviving love and death. …But we also rallied; we shouted; we marched in the streets.” – Ishmael Houston-Jones 

Since 2010, Danspace Project has published catalogues as part of its series of artist-curated Platforms. Initiated by Danspace Project Executive Director and Chief Curator Judy Hussie-Taylor, the Platforms, “exhibitions that unfold over time,” contextualize contemporary dance and performance practices and histories.
