NAMES Project

The NAMES Project is an organization that raises awareness about HIV/AIDS by creating and displaying large, colorful quilts featuring the names and stories of individuals affected by the disease. The most famous exhibit, the AIDS Memorial Quilt, serves as a powerful visual reminder of the epidemic's human impact, honoring those lost and inspiring ongoing support, education, and activism. It symbolizes community solidarity and the fight against AIDS-related stigma, fostering understanding through art and personal stories.
