Becoming Mighty Real explores an intergenerational, serodiscordant relationship through the lens of the disco (music and physical space) as a form of queer world-making. Two men speak to the issues through a glory hole. The glory hole acts as a sexual portal and a form of confessional. The soundtrack comprises spoken word and original music by Zealley. This video is part of Zealley’s disco mirrorball video (the others are METHodologies: A Chemsex Video and Lucid Dreaming Ludic Waking).
This video was produced for Viral Interventions. 2022
Viral Interventions is a three-year York University research project and residency (funded by Canada's Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council), with cohorts of artists and activists coming together every month to workshop stories, trade ideas and create new urgent videos about living with HIV today.
