It made me angry. Many people in the US were without health insurance before Obamacare and it is disturbing to hear that someone died every 8 minutes from AIDS. ]]> 2023-06-17 01:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625821641 rebeccalema22 https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625825253 This poster is disturbing because it depicts the male phallic. I  understand that not everyone is disturbed by these images and the reason for the art is to make a statement against violence that was incurred. According to the Yale site 
"The Yale Lesbian and Gay Studies Center’s second annual conference, held in 1989, turned out to be a flashpoint for AIDS activism on campus. Yale Police arrested conference speaker Bill Dobbs, a New York-based lawyer and member of the prominent AIDS activist group ACT UP, for hanging posters described as “obscene” inside Yale Law School. New Haven police subsequently arrested several members of the Gay and Lesbian Co-Op who challenged Dobbs’ arrest. Protests erupted when Yale President Benno Schmidt refused to comment on allegations of homophobic police brutality. The posters in question contained erotic illustrations and the words “Sex is,” and “Just sex,” and had been created by the San Francisco guerilla art collective Boys with Arms Akimbo in the wake of a federal ban on AIDS education."(https://onlineexhibits.library.yale.edu/s/community-in-crisis/page/student-activism)]]> 2023-06-17 01:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625825253 rebeccalema22 https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625828034 I think this is an effective piece of art. It depicts a US soldier with a snake tongue holding an HIV test kit. He is pointing with his other hand and holding a sign that says out signaling that those who test positive are not welcome. This upsets me because it is a form of medical discrimination. ]]> 2023-06-17 01:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625828034 rebeccalema22 https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625833718 2023-06-17 01:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625833718 rebeccalema22 https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625834023 2023-06-17 01:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625834023 rebeccalema22 https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625834263 2023-06-17 01:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625834263 rebeccalema22 https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625842272 Another poster that shows how often someone dies of AIDS. These posters prove the importance of research and education surrounding AIDS treatment and prevention. ]]> 2023-06-17 02:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625842272 rebeccalema22 https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625842574 I like that this post shows Gran Fury's intentions to educate people that AIDS is not spread through kissing or homosexuality. It has a double effect of standing up for LGBTQIA+ rights and educating the public on the AIDS bloodborne illness. ]]> 2023-06-17 02:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625842574 rebeccalema22 https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625843119 This poster is disturbing. Prisoners have human rights and they were being violated in this case. The poster indicates that 25% of prisoners test positive for AIDS, this number is staggering. ]]> 2023-06-17 02:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625843119 rebeccalema22 https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625845173 What concerns me about this post is how long after its release that healthcare actually became more accessible to people in the United States. ]]> 2023-06-17 02:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625845173 rebeccalema22 https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625851044 The ACT Up movement used art to inspire change not only for AIDS victims, but for the LGBTQIA+ community, the uninsured, the imprisoned and women. Like other nonviolent movements in India, Denmark and the Civil rights movements, the Art was a nonviolent protest. Though unlike those movements, the art itself was the integral part of the movement and allowed for education and awareness. ]]> 2023-06-17 02:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalema22/5dnf7052mnaxuu11/wish/2625851044
