New Exhibit Illustrates AIDS Epidemic History
January 23, 2017
“Surviving and Thriving: AIDS, Politics and Culture,” a new exhibit currently on view at the Myra Mahon Patient Resource Center at Weill Cornell Medicine, explores the rise of the disease in the early 1980’s and the response to the epidemic by ordinary citizens, politicians and the medical community.
The exhibit, organized by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, tells the history of the AIDS epidemic through a mix of text, historic photographs and images of pamphlets and publications from the era.
“Surviving and Thriving: AIDS, Politics and Culture” is on view at the Myra Mahon Patient Resource Center, located on the second floor of 1305 York Ave., from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. on weekdays until Feb. 24
