AIDS Memorial Quilt

The AIDS Memorial Quilt is a poignant tribute to those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses. Started in 1987 in the United States, it consists of over 48,000 individual panels, each created by friends, family, or communities to honor a loved one lost to HIV/AIDS. The quilt serves as a powerful visual representation of the epidemic’s impact, raising awareness, fostering remembrance, and promoting activism in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Displayed in various locations, it invites reflection on the lives lost, the stigma associated with the disease, and the ongoing need for compassion and understanding.
