Join us on Monday, July 25th at 6:30pm at Neapolitan Express for July's Cure Roundtable.
This month join The Research Foundation to Cure AIDS and Performances Space 122 as we discuss the artistic response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and its lost sense of immediacy.

In the early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, New York City’s creative scene was swift to respond with artistic work that interrogated our personal and societal perceptions of living with or in close proximity of the virus. The creative sector was largely attributed to communicating and advocating for the advancement of treatment, preventative care, and research. Significant achievements have been made but a cure has yet to be found.
About The Cure Roundtable:
Since April, on the last Monday of every month at an East Harlem pizza restaurant called The Neapolitan Express, The Cure Roundtable gives voice to people from today’s AIDS community, many of them non-traditional and under-the-radar, including cutting edge caregivers, frontline researchers and artists, prison system experts, and women and mothers, who show and tell it like it is. We invite and encourage active audience participation.
