New York Magazine’s December 7, 2020 “Approval Matrix” - their deliberately oversimplified guide to who falls where on taste hierarchies - places the New York City AIDS Memorial’s new program Hear Me in the coveted top-right quadrant - Highbrow and Brilliant.

Listen to a report on 1010 WINS radio about our new project at the New York City AIDS Memorial featuring an interview with Executive Director Dave Harper

David Wojnarowicz and Larry Kramer are among those whose voices can be heard.

The voices of New Yorkers affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic will be heard daily as part of a new program installed in Greenwich Village. In recognition of World AIDS Day on Tuesday, the New York City AIDS Memorial will launch a sound-based installation composed of speeches, poetry, music, and readings of texts related to the history of the epidemic.

December 1st marks World AIDS Day — and amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the NYC AIDS Memorial installed the most ambitious program since the memorial was founded as a grassroots activist advocacy effort in early 2011.

For World Aids Day, a new audio project will play important speeches and clips that catalogue the ongoing fight against HIV/Aids.

On December 1st, the World AIDS Day, New York City AIDS Memorial is installing Hear Me: Voices of the Epidemic, a daily, hour-long outdoor sound installation composed of historical texts, poetry, speeches, music, and more that capture the history of the AIDS epidemic.

The Times’s Julia Carmel writes: As Manhattan’s streets fall quiet for the winter, a new installation will bring life to the New York City AIDS Memorial in Greenwich Village.

"Hear Me" comes at a time when the ability to gather and grieve is as difficult as it is sorely needed. Fittingly, the NYC AIDS Memorial will debut the outdoor, touch-free installation starting December 1, for World AIDS Day.

The New York City AIDS Memorial is observing World AIDS Day on December 1 with two projects, including a month-long nightly program at the site of the memorial that will also feature a lighting display.
