AIDS, Posters, and Stories of Public Health: A People's History of a Pandemic In-Person
The NLM exhibit, AIDS, Posters, and Stories of Public Health: A People’s History of a Pandemic, will be on display in the Netter Library from August 26 to September 18! The libraries are also partnering with the Office of Community Engagement to pair this exhibit with sections of the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
This exhibition explores how AIDS posters serve as highly adaptable, durable, cost effective, efficient tools in sharing public health messaging. Created by communities bonded together by illness and a desire to make change, these posters provide a gateway to AIDS history, illustrating how, in the face of illness, neglect, and, early on, the unknown, people came together to connect, create, and save one another's lives. Today, AIDS posters continue to be valuable resources for the ongoing epidemic. They teach us about community organizing processes and the ways that groups dealing with HIV heal, share fears, and strategize toward wellness together.
The accompanying website from the National Library of Medicine provides even more information.
