Description
Summary:In 2015, the exhibition traveled to the Santa Monica Museum of Art, as part of a continuing trajectory to reintroduce the work. Since his death, Weil's work has had little exposure, and he is far from a household name. Weil's photographs of hospitalized AIDS patients in New York City, Thai sex workers, soldiers in the Zimbabwe National Army, and South African miners illustrated not only the global scope of the epidemic but the fact that those infected spanned demographic boundaries and groups; more often than not these people were discriminated against because of their poverty, race, and/or sexual orientation.
