My hero. Not the lady who appropriated this image. #silenceequalsdeath Posted @withrepost • @lgbt_history “History is made and preserved by and for particular classes of people. A camera in some hands can preserve an alternate history.” - David Wojnarowicz, 1990

David Wojnarowicz, who died twenty-seven years ago today, was a groundbreaking painter, photographer, writer, filmmaker, performance artist, and AIDS activist.
.
Wojnarowicz emerged from New York's underground art scene in the late 1970s as one of the most prominent and prolific mixed-media artists and activists. In the 1980s, Wojnarowicz collaborated with and inspired fellow artists including Greer Lankton, filmmaker Nick Zedd, and photographers Peter Hujar, David Armstrong, and Nan Goldin.
.
Wojnarowicz and Hujar were lovers for years, and Hujar’s death in 1987 from AIDS-related illness led Wojnarowicz to focus on highlighting the murderous injustices of the AIDS epidemic.
.
In his 1991 memoir, “Close to the Knives,” Wojnarowicz wrote “I imagine what it would be like if friends had a demonstration each time a lover or a friend or a stranger died of AIDS. I imagine what it would be like if, each time a lover, friend or stranger died of this disease, their friends, lovers or neighbors would take the dead body and drive with it in a car a hundred miles an hour to washington d.c. and blast through the gates of the white house and come to a screeching halt before the entrance and dump their lifeless form on the front steps." These lines are cited as the inspiration for ACT UP’s stunning political funerals, during which the fallen were “carried in public protest to shock the public’s conscience.”
.
David Wojnarowicz died from AIDS-related illness on July 22, 1992; he was thirty-seven.
.
The Whitney Museum (@whitneymuseum) featured a major retrospective of Wojnarowicz’s work, "History Keeps Me Awake At Night," beginning in Spring 2018. #HavePrideInHistory #Resist #DavidWojnarowicz

allexzavala Dear @johncameronmitchell last May you were on a mexican radio show called "Dispara Margot Dispara" promoting your concert, did you know that they love Madonna and they have even defended her from people like you, for example, the day in which president Trump called her "disgusting"... if you hate her so much, why promote yourself to shows where they don't think the same as you?, from what i see is something that bothers you a lot, so where is your integrity in promoting your art in place like that? ... i think you like the attention that's generated on you when you talk about her. MADONNA once said: "I do not think people hate me, rather they are simply afraid of me. Usually, people hate what frightens them"... so my question is, are you afraid of her? Why didn't you put her name in your post if you are so sure of yourself and what you think. #youwouldsayitonherface ? ☺

societysboy @johncameronmitchell you don’t have to pull someone down in order to lift someone up. I love you, and you’ve had a massive influence on my life over the years, so it makes me sad to see. Also, maybe look at ‘that lady’s intention behind the album cover which she has discussed multiple times in multiple interviews before making snap judgements and assuming the worst just because she wasn’t too nice to your friend at a party all those years ago.

cupiddelux The only thing “that lady” did was paying respect to her own mother, who died when she was a child. The mother’s mouth was sewn shut while she was laying in her coffin, and that made a huge impression on her. So much that she used that image in her video for Oh Father, and now, because her sister thought she looked like their mother in the photo, she decided to once again use that image.

estoy_esteban Madonna actually used the stitched mouth imagery as a tribute to her mother...she remembers looking into her mother's open coffin and seeing her lips stitched up, an image that stayed with her forever. Not classy to use a sad passing to get a dig at someone that didn't deserve the criticism in the first place.

nybblz @madonna is an AIDS activist from the same artist community..she brought love and empathy to the outcasts suffering in hospitals alone. She can reference and reappropriate this image just as much as anyone. It's not only a homage but a callback. @johncameronmitchell

life.as.v Every time I see AIDS-related stories it feels like just yesterday. Heartbreak & outrage visceral to the bone. Losing a generation, how does that influence the next? Somehow the collective mourning doesn’t feel complete. What still needs healing?
