Early in the 1980s AIDS epidemic, six gay activists created one of
the most iconic and lasting images that would come to symbolize a
movement: a protest poster of a pink triangle with the words
"Silence=Death." The graphic and the slogan still resonate widely
today, the latter an anthem for AIDS activism, and are often
used-and misused-to brand the entire movement, appearing in a
variety of ubiquitous manifestations. Cofounder of the collective
Silence=Death and member of the art collective Gran Fury, Avram
Finkelstein tells the story of how his work and other protest
artworks associated with the early years of the pandemic were
created. In his writing about art and AIDS activism, the formation
of collectives, and the political process, Finkelstein exposes us
to a different side of the traditional HIV/AIDS history told
twenty-five years later and offers a creative toolbox for those who
want to learn how art and activism save lives.
