~~~~~~~~
The National AIDS Memorial will mark the 35th anniversary of the AIDS Memorial Quilt
with an historic outdoor display. More than 3,000 panels of the Quilt will be displayed on June 11 & 12 in Golden Gate Park's Robin Williams Meadow. The free public event is the largest Quilt display in over a decade and the largest-ever in San Francisco history.
Many original panels made during the darkest days of the pandemic will be displayed, along with hundreds of new panels shown for the first time publicly, including many from the memorial's Call My Name panel-making program, which raises awareness about the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS within communities of color.
Touchpoints during the two-day event includes thousands of visitors coming together to view the thousands of names and stories stitched into the panels as they are laid out in the meadow. There will be panel-making workshops, social media storytelling, and a community village with 25 community-based organizations providing public information.
An opening ceremony begins at 9:30 am on Saturday morning will include remarks by leaders from the AIDS movement, including the Quilt co-founders, followed by a touching Quilt unfolding ceremony led by hundreds of volunteers. Throughout the day, panel-makers, visitors, and dignitaries will read aloud the names of lives lost to AIDS from the main stage. The closing ceremony on Sunday at 4 pm will feature the presentation of new Quilt panels.
Gilead Sciences, a long-time supporter of the Quilt, is the presenting partner for display. Other major partners include San Francisco Recreation & Parks, Wells Fargo, UCSF, Quest Diagnostics, Chevron, Dignity Health, and Verizon, among others.
