An AIDS awareness exhibition featuring the AIDS Memorial Quilt is currently displayed at San Francisco International Airport, showcasing the Quilt’s deep connection to the AIDS epidemic. Initiated by activist Cleve Jones in the mid-1980s in response to neglect during the AIDS crisis, the Quilt aims to foster education and healing. It contains nearly 50,000 panels dedicated to over 110,000 AIDS victims and emphasizes the importance of community remembrance and compassion. The Quilt has become a significant artistic representation and advocacy tool for those touched by HIV/AIDS.
The AIDS Memorial Quilt is a powerful reminder of the ongoing epidemic, promoting education to slow the spread of HIV/AIDS and encouraging emotional healing.
The Quilt raises awareness and illustrates the humanity behind AIDS statistics, providing a means of expression for the community affected by the disease.
