Traveling exhibition comes to Methodist College June 30-August 16

The National Library of Medicine (NML) produced a traveling exhibit called “AIDS, Posters and Stories of Public Health: A People’s History of a Pandemic.” This traveling exhibition and the companion website explore the archive of public health posters about AIDS at the National Library of Medicine which is rooted in the cultural output of artists, activists, and community workers.

Their work—specifically, the use of personal narrative, drawing as a visual art strategy, language and the collective process in the creation of AIDS posters–continues to broadcast the message that, 40 years after the crisis began, AIDS is not over. A digital gallery features a curated selection of fully digitized items from the historical collections of the NLM, which are also available in the entirety in NLM Digital Collections. This exhibition will be on display at Methodist College from June 30-August 16, 2025. Learn more about the exhibit.
