“I Can Still Love You From Here” presents a collection of multidisciplinary works by artists from the Visual AIDS Artist Registry who have dealt with life, loss, isolation, and transformation in response to HIV and COVID-19. In the past year, we’ve all come to understand what it means to adjust to sudden shifts in the world around us, how frustrating it can be not understanding these changes, wondering why it even occurred, and how little choice we truly have in the matter. The title, “I Can Still Love You From Here” references the work of Shan Kelley, who uses language, identity, trauma, and biopolitics in order to deconstruct and examine the relationships between space, place, and people.
