"Grassroots groups such as Gay Men's Health Crisis and Act Up created posters to promote safe sex and healthcare, as well as calling out the Reagan administration for inaction in the face of the crisis."
An exhibition titled Love & Fury: New York's Fight Against AIDS showcases how graphic design became a powerful tool for activism during the AIDS crisis. Grassroots organizations including Gay Men's Health Crisis and Act Up created impactful posters that served multiple purposes: promoting safe sex practices, advocating for healthcare access, and criticizing the Reagan administration's inaction during the epidemic. These visual campaigns became central to the movement's strategy for raising awareness and demanding government response. The exhibition runs until September 6 and documents this critical period of design-driven activism in New York City.
