The AIDS Memorial Quilt Display

Date and Time: 11/29/21 - 12/3/21  All Day

Location: Jefferson Alumni Hall, Lobby

The 33^rd Anniversary of World AIDS Day will take place on December 1st.  In observance, we will be displaying a section of The AIDS Memorial Quilt in the JAH Lobby during the week of December 3rd in partnership with AIDS Fund.  We encourage all members of the Jefferson community to stop by and take a moment to reflect on the lives lost to AIDS and the impact AIDS has had in the world.

History of The AIDS Memorial Quilt

The AIDS Memorial Quilt was conceived in November 1985 by long-time San Francisco gay rights activist Cleve Jones. Public response to The Quilt was immediate. People in the U.S. cities most affected by AIDS — Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco — sent panels to the San Francisco workshop. Generous donors rapidly supplied sewing machines, equipment and other materials, and many volunteered tirelessly. Families have been able to share stories of their loved ones, as they cut and sewed the fabric. The AIDS Memorial Quilt has been a way to reveal the “humanity behind the statistics.”

There are only five instances where The Quilt has been featured in its entirety. The Quilt was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, was declared an official American Treasure in 2005, and remains the largest community art project in the world. The Quilt has been the subject of countless books, films, scholarly papers, articles, and theatrical, artistic and musical performances, including “Common Threads: Stories From The Quilt” which won the Academy Award as the best feature-length documentary film of 1989.

The AIDS Memorial Quilt has redefined the tradition of quilt-making in response to contemporary circumstances. A memorial, a tool for education and a work of art, The Quilt is a unique creation, an uncommon and uplifting response to the tragic loss of human life.

AIDS Fund

AIDS Fund is the local affiliate of The NAMES Project Foundation, which is the international, non-governmental organization that is the custodian of The AIDS Memorial Quilt and its associated document and media archive. Today The NAMES Project has chapters across the United States and independent quilt affiliates around the world.  Since 1987, over 14 million people have visited The Quilt at thousands of displays worldwide. Through such displays, The NAMES Project Foundation has raised over $3 million for AIDS service organizations throughout North America.
