John Killacky, executive director of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington, will screen three of his AIDS-related short agitprop videos from the 1990s.  As losses mounted in the early years of the pandemic, Killacky and his friends utilized their own bodies to mourn and as a call against government inaction. These elegiac works have been screened worldwide and are in several museum and library collections.
