    Gallery Talk with Claire Grace, exhibition co-curator and Agnes Mongan Curatorial Intern, Department of Modern and Contemporary Art, Harvard Art Museum/Fogg Museum

    This talk will explore posters, stickers, and public art projects made by art collectives that emerged out of New York’s AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP). Powerful graphics helped transform entrenched ideas about sexuality and played an enormous role in changing legal policy and medical practice.

    Free admission.
    Meet in the Sert Gallery, second floor.
    Gallery talks are informal and include discussion.

Organized by the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts and the Harvard Art Museum. On view at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts October 15–December 23, 2009.
