Complete Set of David McDiarmid’s ACON AIDS Awareness Safe Sex / Injecting Posters
AU$5,000.00 Read MoreAdd to cartDavid McDiarmid
: ACON (AIDS Council of New South Wales), 1992.A complete set of the original AIDS Council of New South Wales safe sex and safe injecting posters featuring artwork commissioned from David McDiarmid (1952-1995). “For people of a certain disposition and a certain age, David McDiarmid’s ACON posters were part of our exploration of sexuality and identity amidst the HIV/AIDS crisis during the 1990s. The large multicoloured muscular naked male bodies with symbols, acronyms and names scrawled across each limb: positives and negatives of grief/lust/fear/care provided a new language for a community to own its public health concerns, and a troubling and appealing depiction of much of our felt ambivalence surrounding sexuality. They, along with his massive and elaborate Mardi Gras floats, were the backdrops to the AIDS vigils of the 1990s; an intense time of shuddering grief and defiant sexual pride.” (Margaret Mayhew, Artllink Issue 34:3) Full list of posters: 1. Some of us get out of it, some of us don’t. All of us fuck with condoms – every time!; 2. HIV, discrimination and grief threaten our community, Build our strength, stay together and support each other; 3. Some of us have HIV, some of us don’t. All of us fuck with condoms – every time!; 4. Some of us inject, some of us don’t. Always use clean needles – every time!; 5. Some of us are in love, some of us are in lust. All of us fuck with condoms – every time!

Global Ayahuasca: Wondrous Visions and Modern Worlds
AU$55.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAlex K. Gearin
Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2024.“Ceremonies of drinking the psychoactive brew ayahuasca have flourished across the planet in recent decades. Emerging from Indigenous roots in the Amazon rainforest, the brew is now envisaged by many as the spiritual gateway to archaic and primordial worlds, with reports of healing, spiritual insight, and awe-inspiring visions placing ayahuasca among the burgeoning field of psychedelic medicines. Astonished and allured by descriptions of ayahuasca experiences, researchers in psychology, anthropology, and philosophy have attempted to define the shared properties of the visions. In this book, Alex Gearin challenges this simplified obsession with universal truth and explores the embodied practices of contemporary ayahuasca drinkers to reveal how the brew has conjured contradictory experiences across the globe. These range from urban disenchantment and capitalist mastery to competitive sorcery and ecological harmony, wherein the plant-induced visions embody different attitudes towards capitalist modernity. Based upon ethnographic research among Shipibo healers in remote Peru, alternative medicine groups in urban Australia, and entrepreneurs and corporate managers in mainland China, Global Ayahuasca examines how the wondrous visions of ayahuasca are entangled within the social and economic realities that they illuminate, revealing different tensions, fears, and hopes of everyday modern life.” (publisher’s blurb)
