LOEWE | David Wojnarowicz on his own diagnosis

Extract from the documentary "Self Portrait in 23 Rounds, a chapter in David Wojnarowicz´s life, 1989-1991" A film by Marion Scemama Directed by François Pain & Marion Scemama LOEWE presents a small series of T-shirts featuring works by the iconic American artist, writer, filmmaker and activist David Wojnarowicz (1954 - 1992). Wojnarowicz became a protagonist of the vibrant local art scene after settling in Manhattan’s East Village in 1978. Many of his works incorporate outsider experiences drawn from his personal history as a gay man. After being diagnosed with AIDS, Wojnarowicz’ art took on a vocal political stance, producing some of the most important and challenging work around the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. His scathing honesty earned the ire of federal authorities, and his work continues to spark controversy and inspire in our own time of growing cultural divisions around critical social issues concerning freedom, justice and equality. #LOEWEvisualAIDS #DavidWojnarowicz See more on http://loewe.cm/home Follow us: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/loewe Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LOEWE Twitter - https://twitter.com/LoeweOfficial
