Storytelling and Science
As we have recently experienced, science communication, information sharing, and awareness building are crucial in combating pandemics and creating a healthier society for all. Community storytelling projects and art pieces like the Quilt are powerful tools of communication and education. By centering human stories and personalizing historic events, they can help drive scientific and medical advancements and even help us better understand current science.
Given the nature of the content within the AIDS Memorial Quilt, it is up to parents, guardians or school staff to decide whether this exhibit is appropriate for the children in their care.
