The purpose of this exhibit is to explore the evolution of intersectionality within the fight for AIDS. The exhibit examines the position of race and queerness within AIDS prevention from the 1980s up to present day. Even though AIDS was a disease that devastated black queer communities more than any other group, mainstream AIDS prevention mainly focused on white cisgender heterosexuals. This reveals how health care systems were never designed to include people living at the intersection of multiple marginalizations.
This exhibit is a collection of photographs, advertisements, and posters that offer contrasting depictions of AIDS. This collection demonstrates the development of mainstream society's view on AIDS and their priorities with prevention. Advertisements and the "spotlight" regarding AIDS changed greatly from the 1980s to present day due to the shift in AIDS demographics. Focuses of AIDS prevention can be categorized into three main groups: the white cisgender heterosexuals, black cisgender heterosexuals, and the black queer community. This exhibit shows the progression through these contrasting focuses of AIDS depictions as prevention shifts from white heterosexuals to queer people of color.
