It Was Vulgar and It Was Beautiful
How AIDS Activists Used Art to Fight a Pandemic
Jack Lowery
"Lessons in Love and Grief: The Story of an Art Collective Fighting Back in the AIDS Crisis. Journey with the Gran Fury, an activist collective born from the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP), as they use direct action and community-created propaganda to combat corporate greed, government inaction, and public indifference to the AIDS epidemic ravaging America in the late 1980s. Writer Jack Lowery takes you through their struggles and successes, showcasing their iconic posters and powerful protests. Discover the profound trauma the members endured, and how their strategies still inspire modern activists fighting against structural violence and COVID-19."
