LADA is delighted to invite you on Thursday the 5th December to the first UK screening of ‘Self Portrait in 23 Rounds’, a film about the work and life of David Wojnarowicz. We will be joined by the filmmaker Marion Scemama and photographer Andreas Sterzing, who will be in conversation about their relationship with Wojnarowicz since the 1980s.

Political artist, painter, writer, performer, photographer, David Wojnarowicz died of AIDS in 1992 in New York. He was one of the leading figures of the New York Downtown artistic scene of the 1980s. The main thread of the film is a 4-hour interview conducted in May 1989 by Sylvere Lotringer, founder of Semiotext(e). Filmed in his loft, Wojnarowicz speaks about confronting his own death, AIDS, desire, sexuality, his work, the use of rage in his commitment, and the numerous contradictions he was going through at this time of his life.

Alongside the film we will also be presenting a series of photographic images of Wojnarowicz taken by photographer Andreas Sterzing. 

Drinks will be served.
LADA is wheelchair accessible and provides gender-inclusive bathrooms.
Please email [log in to unmask] if you have any specific access requirements and we will be happy to offer support.

We look forward to seeing you on the 5th December!
