It’s a great interview that I encourage you to listen to. Sanders interviewed Sarah Schulman, co-director of the ACT UP Oral History Project and the author of Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987-1993(“ACT UP” comes from AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power). My husband and I were driving in the car and “ It’s Been a Minute” with Sam Sanders came on. The writing, in part, says, “I’m a thirty seven foot tall one thousand one hundred and seventy-two pound man inside this six foot frame and all I can feel is the pressure all I can feel is the pressure and the need for release.” The piece has writing silk screened over photographs of Peter Hujar (who had just died from an AIDS-related illness). “Hujar” was Wojnarowicz’s mentor & dear friend. Looking at Untitled (Hujar Dead), 1987-88.
