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.
AIDS, THE LOST VOICES
Two men around 30, each with an HIV/AIDS diagnosis are on the same hospital ward. One is a patient and the other, a nurse. Both men were photographed with the late Diana, Princess of Wales . But who were these courageous men, what happened to them and what impact did they have on HIV/AIDS stigma?
AIDS, THE LOST VOICES
When London dentist Vikram Advani died of AIDS-related complications in 1993. Every major newspaper up and down the land seized the opportunity to vilify, stigmatise and besmirch his good name and reputation and memory of those closest to him. Will & Gloria also step back to 1987 and the reporting of the UKs first AIDS-related hospital ward, the Broderip Ward at London’s Middlesex Hospital.
