Several videos document the visible world of drugs—a harm reduction program in a Berlin park, a night out during Rio’s Carnival—while others reveal private, often hidden spaces where safety is found: bedrooms, underground clinics, and moments of connection between lovers.Meet Us Where We’re At speaks not only to the variety of physical locations where contemporary harm reduction is practiced, but also to a broader shift: centering drug users as authors of their own experiences. Rooted in the philosophy of meeting people at their personal reality without judgment, the program affirms the full context of drug use—its pleasures, its risks, and its role in how people survive, care, and connect.Harm reduction has long been central to the AIDS movement through practices like needle exchange and safe injection sites, and people who use drugs have been affected by HIV since the earliest days of the epidemic. This program brings their perspectives to the forefront, amplifying the voices of drug users as storytellers, cultural producers, and essential participants in the global response to HIV. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/cb2fbee0-ad9d-11f0-ac3b-3fd15ae4e646-rimg-w856-h740-dcfefefe-gmir.jpg Visual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/a-day-without-art-meet-us-where-were-at-film-screening/100001835672639279 - **Event Categories**: art, entertainment, meetups, literary-art, carnivals - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chicago - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: International Museum of Surgical Science - **lat**: 41.9102904 - **long**: -87.62662139999999 - **full address**: International Museum of Surgical Science, 1524 North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: A Day With(out) Art: Meet Us Where We're At - Film Screening - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/780e4779bd31f15ad16f43d54e2d55571085a357669696b824421f49d743caa6-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8e9f7-gmir.jpg?v=1760955380 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is A Day With(out) Art: Meet Us Where We're At - Film Screening being held? - **A:** A Day With(out) Art: Meet Us Where We're At - Film Screening takes place on Mon, 01 Dec, 2025 at 03:00 pm to Mon, 01 Dec, 2025 at 05:00 pm at International Museum of Surgical Science, 1524 North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing A Day With(out) Art: Meet Us Where We're At - Film Screening? - **A:** A Day With(out) Art: Meet Us Where We're At - Film Screening is organized by International Museum of Surgical Science. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
