AIDS, Posters, and Stories of Public Health: A People’s History of a Pandemic Exhibit

Beginning February 12, 2024

10:00 AM-2:00 PM

This winter, the Drexel University Libraries and Drexel's College of Nursing & Health Professions are excited to host the National Library of Medicine’s traveling exhibit, AIDS, Posters and Stories of Public Health: A People’s History of a Pandemic.

The exhibit features selections from the Library of Medicine’s archive of public health posters and explores how AIDS posters serve as highly adaptable, durable, cost effective, efficient tools in sharing public health messaging. Created by communities bonded together by illness and a desire to make change, these posters provide a gateway to AIDS history, illustrating how, in the face of illness, neglect, and, early on, the unknown, people came together to connect, create, and save one another's lives.

The exhibit will be on display in the lobby of the Health Sciences Building (located at 36th & Filbert Streets) from February 12 - March 22, 2024.
