The AIDS Memorial Quilt is the “biggest community art project in the world,” born out of creativity, mourning and frustration by Cleve Jones and other volunteers. It returns to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco for its biggest display yet. trib.al/EMj4HuU

Plan a trip to SF this June 11-12, when over 3,000 panels from the #AIDSQuilt will be displayed, alongside a robust schedule of events and interactive spaces. See the stories behind the Quilt and honor those we have lost. #WovenTogether #CallMyName aidsmemorial.org/quilt35
