HIVES is excited to invite you to a speculative cinema workshop with ecocinema scholar Anuj Vaidya. Vaidya will be leading the workshop Love, Simeon as part of the Creativity in the Time of Covid 19: Art as Medicine events taking place in Snyder-Phillips on October 10 and 11. Love Simeon will take place Thursday, October 10 at 3:00 pm in Snyder Phillips Hall, room C203.
Love, Simeon is a motion-picture experience and imagined cinema workshop that cross-cuts between HIV and COVID to examine the nature of spillover events. These are zoonotic viral vectors that entangle human and non-human actors in the messy webs of the medical-industrial complex. Rhesus macaques emerge as the receptacles of our hopes and futures in the face of these devastating illnesses. In this workshop, we turn our attention to the hopes and futures of these simians who labor for our lives in the shadows.
