In conjunction with the exhibition AIDS at Home: Art and Everyday Activism, the Museum of the City of New York and Visual AIDS co-presented a discussion between four distinguished artists, activists, and writers to explore the ongoing history of HIV/AIDS and the interconnections of art and activism. Speakers presented their work to explore the legacy of HIV/AIDS activism in the 1980s and ‘90s and its significance for ongoing efforts to combat stigma, change government policy, and support people living with HIV/AIDS today. The panel was followed by a reception and exhibition viewing.
