30 Years In, 30 Years Out: AIDS Activism Today

Part of a Thursday night program series connected with the "We Who Feel Differently" exhibition at the New Museum.

QUEEROCRACY and Visual AIDS facilitated a discussion process of what it takes to create an action. For thirty-plus years, AIDS activists have been rallying around medical treatment for those living with HIV, a cure, and an end to the injustice that exasperates the harm of HIV, and makes some people more at risk of transmission. Using performance, facilitation, and skill sharing, the evening was a look at what AIDS activism looks like now, including information on how you were able to be part of the historic July 24th WE CAN END AIDS March July 24th during the International AIDS Conference in Washington D.C.

QUEEROCRACY is a NYC-based grassroots organization working to promote social and economic justice through direct action, community engagement, education, and art. They commit to challenging institutional injustice locally and globally within a queer framework, building a sustainable movement to confront and transform the intersecting issues our communities face.
