QUILT-MAKING

WORKSHOPS


On October 14 & 15, 2022, the New York City AIDS Memorial was thrilled to partner with textile design studio Maharam and the National AIDS Memorial on a series of free, public, artist-led Community Quilt-Making Workshops at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, to mark the thirty-fifth anniversary of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. Over 150 artists, designers, activists, volunteers and community members joined us and AIDS Memorial Quilt co-founder and conservator Gert McMullin as we engaged in cross-generational conversation, continuing the intention of the activists who first imagined the Quilt—to inform, to share, and to build community. See images from the event below:
