AIDS Quilt UK - Wakefield
The UK AIDS Memorial Quilt left London for Wakefield for the first time since 1994, arriving in Wakefield as a powerful act of remembrance and solidarity; the Quilt—now comprising 43 quilts and 24 individual panels representing over 500 people lost to HIV/AIDS, saw 43 blocks displayed at Wakefield Exchange, The Art House, Theatre Royal and several partner venues across the city.
NEW AIDS QUILT: WAD25
For World AIDS Day 2025 I undertook an eight‑week challenge to create eight new AIDS panels, each a piece of a single 12 ft by 12 ft display‑ready quilt intended to join the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt. The panels commemorated individuals featured in my podcast "AIDS: The Lost Voices" individual names, dates and symbols chosen to reflect lives, activism and the quieter moments lost to the epidemic.
