In honor of World AIDS Day, join author Margaret Galvan in conversation with UF professor Kenneth Kidd at 6:30pm on Dec 6th as they talk about photographer Nan Goldin’s HIV/AIDS activism that Galvan writes about in her new book, In Visible Archives: Queer and Feminist Visual Culture in the 1980s (2023). Out now from University of Minnesota Press, In Visible Archives examines the artwork of eight women and how their work intersects with cultural touchstones like the feminist sex wars, the HIV/AIDS crisis, the women in print movement, and countercultural grassroots periodical networks.

Margaret Galvan is Assistant Professor of Visual Rhetoric in the Department of English at the University of Florida. Her archivally-informed research examines how visual culture operates within social movements and includes her first book, In Visible Archives: Queer and Feminist Visual Culture in the 1980s, out this fall with University of Minnesota Press. See margaretgalvan.org for more information.
