ON THE GO
REMEMBERING THE PAST, REWRITING THE FUTURE The AIDS Memorial Quilt has been deemed a National Treasure by an act of Congress. It consists of more than 48,000 panels representing the lives of 94,000 people taken by AIDS. It was sewn by more than 100,000 friends and family members. Over the years, the composition of the panels has evolved to reflect the changing nature of the epidemic. The Quilt remembers people from all over the world; it is a global tribute to the 25 million precious lives we have lost to AIDS. The Quilt serves as a connector and a catalyst, an ambassador and an educator. Today, there are medications that can keep people healthy and alive, but AIDS is far from under control, including in America. Of the estimated 34 million people with HIV on the planet, only 6 million are accessing treatment. This year’s display will hopefully reawaken the world to the ongoing AIDS crisis and in doing so, engender a new era of AIDS support and advocacy in America—and around the world. The Quilt will be on display in locations throughout Washington, DC. The opening ceremony takes place on the National Mall at 9 A.M. on Saturday, July 21. The display at the National Mall is open from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. daily and will include panel-making workshops, new panel dedications, daily readings of the names and a digital experience tent where visitors can browse Quilt panels online, check out a digital timeline of the Quilt and interact with the Quilt mobile Web app. Visit quilt2012.org for a complete listing of locations and events.
We can end AIDS faster.

sorts of communities to get mobilized. Each individual panel is 3 feet by 6 feet. The panels were designed to represent a human grave of each life, so that we could transform statistics into souls and try to wake up the world. The Quilt doesn’t allow the world to deny that [the epidemic] happened and is happening. It galvanizes the conversation. How has the Quilt evolved?
Uncommon Threads Julie Rhoad leverages the power of the AIDS Memorial Quilt to usher in a new era of AIDS advocacy.
T
HE AIDS MEMORIAL QUILT IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST powerful symbols of the public’s response to the AIDS pandemic. It consists of more than 48,000 panels representing the lives of 94,000 people taken by AIDS. The last time the entire Quilt was on display was in 1996. The NAMES Project Foundation, in partnership with POZ, now returns the Quilt to the National Mall and at more than 50 sites around the capital in conjunction with the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012). Julie Rhoad has been president and CEO of the NAMES Project Foundation, the organization that serves as custodian of the Quilt, since 2001. As she explains here, the Quilt has a powerful history of awakening the world to the AIDS crisis. It can help people remember the past and shape a brighter future for people living with the virus.
How would you describe the power of the Quilt?
The Quilt is like no other instrument on earth. It is a place where people can find inspiration and motivation to act. It’s a great example of how art can inspire advocacy. Looking back at the last 30 years we find that the Quilt helped start the [HIV/AIDS] advocacy movement. It said, “We are dying, somebody has to pay attention.” Then mothers and fathers, and brothers and sisters, and uncles and aunts began to get involved and take action. If we are going to end HIV/AIDS, we need people from all
How will the Quilt use social media?
We will have oral history stations where people can tell their own story. Their experiences will become another volume in this lovely piece of material culture that teaches, informs and inspires. We’ll also have QR codes on various panels where people can [use their smartphones] to look up and listen to stories. How does the Quilt help people?
In the panel-making workshops, people have a safe space to discuss HIV/AIDS. Where [pieces of the] Quilt are on display people go, “Hmm, maybe it is OK to talk about HIV/AIDS.” It’s a way of starting dialogue in communities who have had a really hard time addressing it. It’s amazing that we are 30 years into this epidemic and some of the driving factors around why people don’t get tested and don’t have access to care are still stigma, shame and phobia. The Quilt breaks down those barriers. Go to quilt2012.org for more information.
HAROLD DANIELS
Julie Rhoad, president and CEO of the NAMES Project Foundation
The Quilt is a mirror that reflects society’s responses—some good and some not so good—during the last 30 years of the epidemic. When drugs [that prevent] mother-tochild transmission were made available, we started seeing fewer baby panels. Today, the Quilt reflects what is happening in the African-American community and around the world. Originally, [due to stigma] many panels carried only first names. A teacher came to us years after creating a panel for his lover and said, “I really want to put his last name on the panel.” Moments like these reflect how people grapple with this disease over time.
