ON THE GO
REMEMBERING THE PAST, REWRITING THE FUTURE The AIDS Memorial Quilt has been deemed a National Treasure by an act of Congress. It consists of more than 48,000 panels representing the lives of 94,000 people taken by AIDS. It was sewn by more than 100,000 friends and family members. Over the years, the composition of the panels has evolved to reflect the changing nature of the epidemic. The Quilt remembers people from all over the world; it is a global tribute to the 25 million precious lives we have lost to AIDS. The Quilt serves as a connector and a catalyst, an ambassador and an educator. Today, there are medications that can keep people healthy and alive, but AIDS is far from under control, including in America. Of the estimated 34 million people with HIV on the planet, only 6 million are accessing treatment. This year’s display will hopefully reawaken the world to the ongoing AIDS crisis and in doing so, engender a new era of AIDS support and advocacy in America—and around the world. The Quilt will be on display in locations throughout Washington, DC. The opening ceremony takes place on the National Mall at 9 A.M. on Saturday, July 21. The display at the National Mall is open from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. daily and will include panel-making workshops, new panel dedications, daily readings of the names and a digital experience tent where visitors can browse Quilt panels online, check out a digital timeline of the Quilt and interact with the Quilt mobile Web app. Visit quilt2012.org for a complete listing of locations and events.
We can end AIDS faster.
