The World AIDS Museum’s newest exhibit is artfully designed Colors of HIV created by local artist Toby Gotesman Schneier. The artwork presents the progression of the pandemic of HIV. In addition, it skillfully summarizes the political winds that have buffeted the world’s response to the pandemic and respectfully honors those affected by the disease.
“A tour of the Colors of HIV is a serious yet uplifting exposition of the pandemic from the early days of the 1980s to today’s promising eradication efforts and treatment breakthroughs.”
Visitors gain insight into the emergence of the first symptoms, subsequent worldwide political and social responses, and today’s pharmacological advances.
The exhibit unveils the impact on marginalized groups in the United States and affected populations worldwide. A visit to the Museum is an experience rounded out with artwork, colorful graphics, audiovisual displays, and a trained docent who personalizes the tour.
