Wojnarowicz: F--k You F-ggot F--ker

A controversial artist blazes a trail for other gay image makers in New York's 1980s scene, only to perish at the end of the decade from the AIDS virus.

As New York City became the epicenter of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, Wojnarowicz weaponised his work and waged war against the establishment’s indifference to the plague until his death from it in 1992 at the age of 37. Exclusive access to his breathtaking body of work – including paintings, journals, and films – reveals how Wojnarowicz emptied his life into his art and activism. Rediscovered answering machine tape recordings and intimate recollections from Fran Lebowitz, Gracie Mansion, Peter Hujar, and other friends and family help present a portrait of this fiercely political, unapologetically queer artist.
