AIDS Quilt to Be Displayed

Today, the World Health Organization says 39.5 million people around the world have AIDS, yet somehow here in the states it's as though AIDS is only discussed as a tragedy of the 1980s and early 90s to be "commemorated," as though history had locked it safely in the past and had given it symbolic closure.

This quilt exhibition is called a tool for education in the present moment and for the future.

If you want to understand the powerful forces behind this work of art and activism, ask yourself, "Why a quilt?  Why AIDS?"  If you can answer those questions, you yourself are ready to shake the world.
