For my sound project, I decided to create a piece that captures the thoughts and feelings of someone who has been diagnosed with HIV in the mid 80s. I used multiple stories from different people to form the dialogue and incorporated different news reports and interviews about HIV during the 80s to emphasize the stigma of HIV during that time. I wanted to focus on how such life changing news can drive a person to think such dark thoughts. I also wanted to shed light on society’s response to those suffering with HIV/AIDS during the 80s and how certain terms were used back then that we wouldn’t use today.
