Description
Join us for a community screening of the Oscar-nominated documentary All The Beauty And the Bloodshed, an epic, emotional film about New York artist and P.A.I.N. founder Nan Goldin. The film spans decades including the 1989 NEA-censored exhibit she curated amidst the AIDS epidemic, Witnesses: Against Our Vanishing, her fight against the Sacklers and for harm reduction, and her groundbreaking artwork and slideshows.
The Sackler family owned Purdue Pharma, the company whose marketing of OxyContin ignited the opioid overdose crisis. They also donated tens of millions of dollars to museums including the Met and the Guggenheim. In 2018, the activist group P.A.I.N. began disrupting institutions supported by the Sacklers, demanding that these institutions hold the family accountable for profiting off mass death.
The evening will begin with a Narcan training with Last Night A Deejay Saved My Life. A horizontal community discussion with P.A.I.N. organizer Harry Cullen and producer Yoni Golijov will follow the screening, facilitated by revolutionary mobile cinema collective Cine Móvil NYC.
