FXF-one Presents: NYC AIDS Memorial
Please join us for a special presentation on the NYC AIDS Memorial with Christopher Tepper (co-founder of the NYC AIDS Memorial Organization), Mateo Paiva and Esteban Erlich (Partners at studio ai architects).
Until now, over 35 years into the fight against AIDS, there was no highly visible public memorial recognizing those we lost and the extraordinarily heroic effort of caregivers and activists who helped change the trajectory of the epidemic. Even though New York City alone lost more than 100,000 men, women and children to AIDS and the global activist response to the epidemic started here, the history of the disease in New York City is all but invisible: the loss and devastation, the government indifference, the community's unprecedented response. This memorial is intended both to honor and acknowledge the past and – as the AIDS crisis is far from over – energize and inspire current and future generations of activists, caregivers and people living with HIV.
This presentation is sponsored by FXF-one, our LGBTQ and Allies group, and held in conjunction with our participation in AIDS Walk New York.
