Join us for this event – a time for London to remember the many lives lost to HIV and AIDS.
The International AIDS Candlelight Memorial, coordinated by the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+), is one of the world’s oldest and largest grassroots mobilisation campaigns for HIV awareness in the world. Started in 1983, the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial takes place every third Sunday in May and is led by a coalition of community organisations in many countries.
Our event is open to all, whether you’re a client of Positive East, or of another HIV organisation, living with HIV or not, or involved in an HIV organisation (staff, volunteer or trustee). Allies also welcome.
The event will include:
- Display of a range of creative responses by Positive East clients
- Display of the U=U Community Quilt
- Readings by Simon Maddrell of poems from their new anthology: Lamping Wild Rabbits
- Spoken word readings of creative writing responses by Positive East clients
- Snacks and drinks
- Launch of the U=U Garden – a new project in the Positive East Garden
- Candlelight Memorial
