“I’m Making Biscuits for a Funeral”: Life and Death During the AIDS Crisis
Join artist and photographer Lola Flash for a six-part podcast series exploring New York City during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and ‘90s.
In this penultimate episode, Flash concentrates on a single site: St. Vincent’s Hospital, which, in the 1980s, housed the first and largest AIDS ward on the East Coast. In conversation with friends Pamela Sneed, Idris Mignott, Agosto Machado, and Aldo Hernandez, Flash shares how this hospital touched their lives. She also introduces us to a new friend—someone with a different relationship to St. Vincent’s.
