UK AIDS Memorial Quilt Viewing

In its first appearance at a major UK cultural institution, the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on display at the Tate Modern from 12 - 16 June.  On Saturday there will be live readings of the names, at 11.00 and 14.00.

Join me on Saturday, 14 June at 10.30, at the riverside entrance of The Tate Modern, and we will view this incredibly moving and important piece of our history.

The Quilt was created in 1989, and was inspired by the US AIDS Memorial Quilt.  The UK quilt is made up of 42 quilts and 23 individual panels, including Mark Ashton (of the Gays and Lesbians Support the Miners), Freddie Mercury, and Eddie (with a hand embroidered letter from his mum).

We will allow roughly 60 minutes for viewing, then head to Wagamama Bankside for lunch and a discussion of our thoughts on the Quilt.  Please note that access to the Museum is free; lunch will be paid individually.

Our Cultural and Heritage events are great "taster" events for first time attendees.  Although this one may be a bit "emotionally heavy", there will be social time at lunch to decompress and discuss.
