Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening with the Ohio Lesbian Archives.
Interested in learning more about Gran Fury and Kissing Doesn’t Kill? Learn more on the Ohio Lesbian Archives website.
The Ohio Lesbian Archives, in partnership with Caracole, invites you to an evening exploring the history behind one of the most recognizable images of AIDS activism.
Created by the artist collective Gran Fury during the height of the AIDS crisis, Kissing Doesn’t Kill challenged stigma, demanded attention and demonstrated the power of art to inspire change.
Through historical context, archival images and conversation, we’ll reflect on the activists who transformed grief into action and examine how their work continues to shape the fight against HIV today.
Whether you’re familiar with Gran Fury or discovering this history for the first time, this program offers an opportunity to connect the past with the ongoing work of advocacy, education and equity.
