Juhasz’s merging of media practice and activism began with the AIDS crisis and, over the decades, has expanded to encompass an intersectional set of issues including HIV/AIDS; COVID-19; feminist, queer, and BIPOC visibility and activism; and the push for both democratized media-production access and expanded forms of documentary practice. The Please Hold/Holding Patterns project offers an opportunity to reflect on how Juhasz, both over the span of her career and through this latest work, has generated methods of media activism that challenge and transcend the binaries of theory/practice, maker/subject, and producer/consumer that organize (and arguably constrain) much of academia and media practice.
