Join MOCA at 7:30 pm on May 31 for Hypericin Yellow Movie, presented by GTA24 artists Oliver Husain and Kerstin Schroedinger. DNCB stands for Dinitrochlorobenzene. It is used in the development of analogue colour film. From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, the substance was also employed as a treatment in alternative AIDS clinics around the USA and Canada. Its actual benefits were never scientifically studied. Around the same time in Germany a study of the flowering plant St. John’s wort as a treatment for HIV received government support while other AIDS research and care were severely underfunded. In this performance, Oliver Husain and Kerstin Schroedinger share some of their research into these two overlapping histories and relate them to health, skin, light, and film. This performance is part of MOCA’s Free Friday Nights powered by Scotiabank. Free tickets can be obtained ahead of time or at the door. Book in advance to reserve your spot!
