Join us for a special film screening and reception in partnership with the traveling National Library of Medicine (NLM) exhibit: AIDS, Posters & Stories of Public Health: A People's History of a Pandemic. Our special guest speakers, Karen Hartfield and Frank Chaffee will discuss their work with HIV/AIDS in both UW and the surrounding communities in Washington state. Following their presentations, we will screen Target Zero: Preventing HIV Transmission, a documentary series that shows the challenges and emotional complexity of the fight to control HIV infection.
Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP by Monday, May 13. About the exhibit: The posters featured in this traveling National Library of Medicine (NLM) exhibit were created by "communities bonded together by illness and a desire to make change". These posters provide a gateway to AIDS history that illustrate how, in the face of illness, neglect, and the unknown, people came together to connect, create, and save one another's lives.
