In such cases, legal documents and media reports construct histories, histories in the service of an institutional logic that this at odds with the lives of people living with HIV. Rather than engaging in the normative debates presenting âinnocentâ subjects in contrast to the âguiltyâ mark of institutions, this collaborative work aims to understand the materiality of being marked as a âcriminalâ and a âriskâ to public safety, and how hypervisibility is a tool used by state and private sector institutions to govern and create a public panic around HIV. As a growing phenomenon in Canada â one that is disproportionate in scope to other countriesâ the expansion of legal governance of HIV is part of a fast growing trend in Canada, where there have been upwards of 185 criminal law cases since 1989 related to exposure or non-disclosure of HIV. Cases are on the rise, with high rates of prosecution for aggravated sexual assault charges that with a mandatory registration as a sex offender and sentence of up to life in prison. In these cases peopleâs photographs are plastered across media outlets with sensationalized headlines condemning the person with HIV as a criminal, vector of disease and dangerous, reckless and irresponsible person. Mikiki is a queer video and performance artist from Newfoundland. They attended NSCAD and Concordia before returning to St. John's to work as Programming Coordinator at Eastern Edge Gallery. They later moved to Calgary to work as the Director of TRUCK Gallery. Their work has been presented throughout Canada in self-produced interventions, artist-run centres and public galleries. Their practice and political history informed a shift into sexual health education work around 2003. Mikiki has since worked as a Sexuality Educator in Calgary's public schools, a Bathhouse Attendant in Saskatoon, Drag Queen Karaoke Hostess in St. John's all informing their work in Gay Men's Health. Mikiki has worked as Gay Men's Sexual Health Outreach Worker in Ottawa, HIV Educator in Montreal, the Poz Prevention Coordinator at Toronto People With AIDS Foundation and now runs a harm reduction street outreach program and provides HIV testing for a community health centre.

Dans de tels cas, ces reportages mĂ©diatiques et ces documents judiciaires Ă©laborent des histoires alignĂ©es avec une logique institutionnelle qui ne cadre pas avec le vĂ©cu des personnes sĂ©ropositives. PlutĂŽt que de prendre part aux dĂ©bats normatifs oĂč les sujets « innocents » sont prĂ©sentĂ©s en contraste Ă lâĂ©tampe « coupable » imposĂ©e par les institutions, cette collaboration cherche Ă comprendre lâimportance dâĂȘtre Ă©tiquetĂ© en tant que « criminel » et de « risque » Ă la sĂ©curitĂ© publique tout en examinant comment lâhypervisibilitĂ© est employĂ©e par les institutions privĂ©es et Ă©tatiques afin de gouverner et dâalimenter une panique gĂ©nĂ©ralisĂ©e entourant le VIH. PhĂ©nomĂšne gagnant en ampleur au Canada et de façon disproportionnĂ©e comparativement aux autres pays, lâexpansion de la gouvernance juridique du VIH est de plus en plus prĂ©sente en sol canadien, oĂč plus de 185 poursuites pĂ©nales liĂ©es Ă lâexposition au VIH ou au non-dĂ©voilement eurent lieu depuis 1989. Le nombre de cas ne cesse dâaugmenter et un nombre important de poursuites sont centrĂ©es sur des accusations dâagression sexuelle grave qui entraĂźnent une inscription obligatoire au registre national des dĂ©linquants sexuels et qui peuvent conduire jusquâĂ lâemprisonnement Ă perpĂ©tuitĂ©. Ă chaque fois, les visages des individus concernĂ©s sont diffusĂ©s dans les mĂ©dias et leurs portraits sont accompagnĂ©s de propos sensationnalistes qualifiant les personnes sĂ©ropositives dâindividus criminels, irresponsables, insouciants, dangereux et porteurs de maladie. Mikiki est un.e artiste de performance et vidĂ©aste queer originaire de Terre-Neuve. Iel complĂ©ta des Ă©tudes au NSCAD dâHalifax et Ă lâUniversitĂ© Concordia de MontrĂ©al avant de retourner sâĂ©tablir Ă Saint-Jean afin de voir Ă la coordination de la programmation de la Eastern Edge Gallery. Iel quitta ensuite pour Calgary, oĂč iel assura la direction de la TRUCK Gallery. Son travail fut prĂ©sentĂ© partout au Canada dans des galeries publiques, des centres dâartistes autogĂ©rĂ©s ainsi que lors dâinterventions publiques autoproduites. En 2003, sa pratique artistique et son engagement politique lâamenĂšrent Ă entreprendre une carriĂšre dans le domaine de lâĂ©ducation en matiĂšre de santĂ© sexuelle. Mikiki a depuis travaillĂ© en Ă©ducation sexuelle dans les Ă©coles publiques de Calgary, comme prĂ©posĂ©(e) au sauna Ă Saskatoon ainsi que drag queen et animateur(rice) de karaokĂ© Ă Saint-Jean â des expĂ©riences qui surent influencer son travail en santĂ© sexuelle auprĂšs des hommes gais. Mikiki a Ă©galement ĆuvrĂ© en tant quâintervenant(e) en santĂ© sexuelle auprĂšs des hommes gais Ă Ottawa, comme Ă©ducateur(rice) en prĂ©vention du VIH/sida Ă MontrĂ©al, comme coordonnateur(rice) en prĂ©vention du VIH/sida auprĂšs de la Toronto People With AIDS Foundation et dirige actuellement un programme de rue axĂ© sur la rĂ©duction des mĂ©faits et offre des services de dĂ©pistage du VIH auprĂšs dâun centre de santĂ© communautaire.
