Jean Carlomusto

Jean Carlomusto and Jane Rosett co-curate, produce and direct AIDS: A LIVING ARCHIVE™, an ongoing interactive multi-media installation based on their photography, video and writings documenting the HIV/AIDS pandemic over the past twenty years. AIDS: A LIVING ARCHIVE™ features The Interactive Portrait Gallery. AIDS: A LIVING ARCHIVE™ was invited to premiere at the Museum of the City of New York to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. Carlomusto’s works are unorthodox investigative reports on subjects that have been erased from history. She has created numerous videotapes about HIV/AIDS over the past 16 years. In 1987, Carlomusto founded the Media Production Unit at Gay Men’s Health Crisis; and was also a member of Testing the Limits video collective and founding member of DIVA TV. She holds a Master of Professional Studies degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at Tisch School of the Arts, NYU, where she was also awarded the Distinction of Excellence in Video Production. Currently, Carlomusto is Associate Professor of Media Arts and Director of the Television Studio at Long Island University’s C.W. Post Campus.
