About the Event:
In its ninth year, The Michael Conway Annual Display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, serves as a space of reflection, healing, and education by honoring the lives and legacies of those we have lost to AIDS in Alabama and in the Southeast. The display is named in memory of Michael Conway, beloved son of long-time member of the congregation, Jan Conway.
This display part of the National AIDS Memorial's efforts to bring the Quilt to communities across the United States to raise greater awareness and education about HIV/AIDS and to remember those to the pandemic.
About the Quilt:
The National AIDS Memorial Quilt, initiated by the NAMES Project in 1985, stands as a moving symbol of love & loss. The display contains over 48,000 panels, making it the largest community art project in the world. It has been displayed at many places like The National Mall in Washington D.C, where it covered 1.3 million square feet, representing the enormity of the AIDS crisis and spurring the US government to action. Each panel of the Quilt is created by loved ones, friends, and family members of those lost to the AIDS epidemic and includes personal messages, artwork, and mementos that reflect the life of the person being remembered.
All are welcome.
