Audrey Flack at the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College, OH 'The Body, the Host: HIV/AIDS and Christianity'

20 January - 15 December 2024

Gallery artist Audrey Flack is included in the group exhibition The Body, the Host: HIV/AIDS and Christianity at the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College, Ohio. This exhibition is organized as a venn diagram. Adjacent presentations addressing Christianity and HIV/AIDS allow the artworks to be taken on their own terms—and also to shed new light on one another. Christian iconography surfaced conspicuously amid the HIV/AIDS outbreak in the 1980s, as visual art became one of the most vital means of promoting awareness and coping with grief. The overlap at the heart of the exhibition is a group of works by queer Christian artists whose religious backgrounds and exposure to the ravages of AIDS provided a unique set of tools to express loss as well as resilience.
