UK AIDS Quilt Arrives in Scotland | Glasgow News
Description
The UK AIDS Memorial Quilt is touring Scotland for the first time, bringing a powerful, personal tribute to over 600 lives lost to HIV and AIDS. Each handcrafted panel honors loved ones, breaking silence and stigma since the quilt’s inception in 1985. After a record-breaking run at Tate Modern, Glasgow’s Tramway will host the exhibit from September to October 2026, featuring archival materials, a documentary, and talks—including a conversation with original creator Cleve Jones. Rooted in Scottish activism, the quilt once served as a vital grief support and education tool in Leith. This moving display connects past and present, confronting ongoing prejudice, especially against LGBTQ+ communities, and celebrating resilience and progress in living well with HIV today.
