The UK AIDS Memorial Quilt at Positive East, Sunday 3 December.

The UK AIDS Memorial Quilt is an irreplaceable piece of social history. It tells the stories of many of those lost in the early days of the HIV AIDS epidemic in the 80’s and 90’s. There are 48 twelve-foot by twelve-foot panels, each comprising up to 8 smaller panels. Each individual panel commemorates someone who died and has been lovingly made by their friends, lovers or family. 

 

 

The UK AIDS Memorial Quilt Partnership of HIV charities across the UK endeavours to display the quilts as often as possible to raise awareness of the quilt and its importance in our history.
