  • Ben Cuevas | Medicinal Art | Bonus Episode World AIDS Day
    Dec 4 2024

    Ben Cuevas weaves their identity, resilience, and activism into art that transcends the personal and the political. As a queer, non-binary, HIV-positive, Latinx artist, Cuevas transforms textiles into vessels of survival and belonging. Through groundbreaking works like Knit PrEP—a knitted sculpture reimagining the HIV-prevention pill as a symbol of care and community—Cuevas dismantles stigma and bridges narratives of otherness. Their art, deeply autobiographical, turns the mundane into the profound, bearing witness to the HIV/AIDS epidemic while empowering future resilience. Through their craft, Cuevas calls us to embrace humanity, challenge ignorance, and honor the ongoing fight for equity and compassion.
