It is a fact people are discriminated against for being HIV positive. It is a fact the majority of the Nazi industrialists retained their wealth after the war. It is a fact the night belongs to Michelob and Coke is real. It is a fact the color of your skin matters. It is a fact Crazy Eddie's prices are insane. It is a fact that four colors--red, black, green and white--placed next to each other in any form are strictly forbidden by the Israeli army in the occupied Palestinian territories. This color combination can cause an arrest, a beating, a curfew, a shooting, or a news photograph. Yet it is a fact that these forbidden colors, presented as a solitary act of consciousness here in Soho, will not precipitate a similar reaction.

From the first moment of encounter, the four color canvases in this room will “speak” to everyone. Some will define them as an exercise in color theory, or some sort of abstraction. Some as four boring rectangular canvases hanging on the wall. A few experts will interpret them as yet another minimalist ecstasy. Now that you've read this text, I hope for a different message.

For all the PWAs.

On this day in queer history: 10 March 1987

ACT UP was founded in NYC to demand faster drug access, fair pricing, and real action during the AIDS crisis. Their direct-action protests transformed public health policy and AIDS activism.

Der frühere Präsident von #ActUp #Paris, Fred Navarro, ist tot.

Es berührt mich immer wieder, mehr über Menschen und Vorkämpfer*innen zu erfahren, die man vielleicht selbst nicht kannte, denen man jedoch so viel zu verdanken hat.

Danke & ruhe in Frieden, Fred! 🙏❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
