Up Against the Wall: Art, Activism, and the AIDS Poster offers
nearly 200 examples of visually arresting and socially meaningful
posters. Taken from more than 8,000 held in the collection in the
University of Rochester's River Campus Libraries' Department of
Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation. The collection,
one of the largest of its kind in the world, was donated to the
University of Rochester by Dr. Edward Atwater. The book accompanies
an exhibition of AIDS education posters displayed at the Memorial
Art Gallery of the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY. The
posters, spanning the years from 1982 to the present, show how
social, religious, civic, and public health agencies have addressed
the controversial, often contested terrain of the HIV/AIDS pandemic
within the public realm. Organizations and creators tailored their
messages to audiences, both broad and very specific, and used a
wide array of strategies, employing humor, emotion, scare tactics,
simple scientific explanations, sexual imagery, and many other
methods to communicate powerfully and effectively.
