About
In this rare public appearance, critic, writer and HIV+ activist Simon Watney reflects on the political, cultural and personal history of HIV/AIDS, and the enduring need for activism, accountability and remembrance.
As part of the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt display at Charleston, this conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most significant thinkers and organisers of the era. Watney will reflect on the historical and ongoing impact of the quilt, the difference between how the HIV epidemic has unfolded in the UK and the US, and what queer activism looks like today in the face of ongoing stigma and global inequality.
