The AIDS Memorial Quilt in Mississippi
“Our hope is that bringing the Quilt will shine a light on the systemic struggles our community faces still today, not just in the fight to end HIV, but the health and social justice issues that for too long have been ignored.”
"We are bringing the Quilt as a teaching tool to the South to encourage folks to educate one another, to empower one another, and to take charge of their own health in different and creative ways."
"We are trying to Change the Pattern of access. To Change the Pattern of opportunity. To Change the Pattern of people not being connected with these numbers that we hear so much about.”
“The program is helping us look at new ways to reach and actively engage communities that continue to be disproportionately impacted by HIV so we can help end the epidemic.“
This powerful and timely Quilt exhibition will feature more than 500 hand-stitched panels of the AIDS Quilt that honor Black and Latinx lives lost to AIDS and feature many newly made Quilt panels from Southern states, which will be featured for the first time publicly.
For partners and the community. Find information to take an active role in your health, challenge cultural stigma and continue the legacy of advocacy for your community.
You don’t have to be an artist or sewing expert to create a moving personal tribute remembering a life lost to AIDS.
We depend on the support of people like you to help preserve the Quilt and keep it on display. If you have time, we need the help!
Help care for the Quilt by making a donation today. Gifts of any amount are welcome and greatly appreciated!
