The audio activist collective Ultra-red are proud to be participating in the Tenth Anniversary convergence of Critical Resistance. CR10 brings together activists and organizers from around the U.S. to strategize and share experiences in the struggle against the prison industrial complex. Ultra-red will present their recent work in the "Untitled" series, an on-going investigation into the potential links between AIDS activism and prison justice. Collective members will screen a single-channel version of our video, "Untitled (for six voices)" and then facilitate an open strategy-session with participants in the project together with movement activists and organizers. We invite everyone in the Bay Area to join us for CR10 and the Ultra-red workshop.

Since 2005, the collective Ultra-red has been involved in an extensive militant investigation into the present conditions of the AIDS crisis in North America and globally. Conceptually rooted in Paulo Freire's radical pedagogy, Ultra-red have developed a series of performances and installations that engage audiences in analyzing the conditions of poverty, racism, and homophobia in the perpetuation of the epidemic. In this workshop, Ultra-red will introduce their work and their partnerships with community organizations including the national organization CHAMP (Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project) whose Project UNSHACKLE has informed Ultra-red's approach to AIDS cultural analysis, prevention justice and prison abolition.
