Join the Conversation: Colorful Stories Let’s Talk about the AIDS Quilt
For the October Colorful Stories event, we’ll hear from three people in the Moorhead-Fargo community whose lives have been touched by HIV/AIDS. They will share from their own lived experiences what it’s like to have a family member with AIDS, live with HIV/AIDS, and/or create a community of love and support.
Thursday, October 14 at 7pm in CMU 105
Panelists:
• Destiny Holiday
• Kathy Coyle
• Joe Larson
Additionally, pieces of the National AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on display in the MSUM Library From October 11 – December 1. This event is part of a collaborative effort to highlight the exhibit at MSUM and bring to light the effect of HIV/AIDS on the community. MSUM will be creating six new pieces for the National AIDS Memorial Quilt this fall. If you have an interest in participating, please contact Annie.Wood@mnstate.edu
The Colorful Stories Series highlights and centers the lived experiences of Black people, Indigenous people, People of Color, the LGBTQ+ community, women, neurodivergent individuals, and other folks whose stories are often overlooked or overshadowed. Through any event in this series, you’ll get to learn from people’s experiences and practice perspective taking.
