AIDS Memorial Storytelling Project
The AIDS Memorial Storytelling Project aims to both honour and document the stories of those commemorated at the memorial. We’ll be exploring its history, adding names that have been missed and underrepresented, all while creating opportunities for sharing and archiving these vital stories.
Our goal is to celebrate the experiences and legacies of those affected by HIV/AIDS through an art-focused and community-driven approach. Through this project, we aim to cultivate connection, support, and deeper understanding of the ongoing impact of HIV/AIDS.
