This collection features an introduction by Ryan Mangione on the ongoing presence of AIDS and the role of cultural production in shaping its history. Through interviews with Cynthia Carr, Robert Glück, Brontez Purnell, Alper Turan, and fierce pussy, it considers how storytelling, memory, and activism continue to inform its cultural narrative.

Roundtable discussions examine the intersections of activism, bodily precarity, and evolving representations of the epidemic. AIDS Inc. brings together Ishmael Houston-Jones, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, Ron Athey, John Greyson, Avram Finkelstein, and Ryan Mangione to discuss the commodification of crisis, the politics of care, and the challenges of radical resistance. Another conversation, centered on the legacy of Douglas Crimp, features Gregg Bordowitz, Rosalyn Deutsche, Juan Antonio Suárez, Rachel Haidu, Jonathan Flatley, Jules Gill-Peterson, Morgan Bassichis, Marc Siegel, and Emmanuel Olunkwa. Together, they explore his impact on art, activism, and academia, tracing the shifting narratives of AIDS representation and cultural critique.
