Macon Pride, Reach to Impact Group, and The Tubman Museum are commemorating World AIDS Day through the annual art exhibition, “Red Reminds Me.”
The showcase, which will be on exhibit at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, GA, from Dec. 4 to Jan. 4, explores the emotions the color red evokes and celebrates local artists Kevin Lewis, Rudy and Carolyn Mendes, Dorrin Gingerich, Eric Hart Jr., and Leah Duval.
Featured pieces memorialize those impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic and expand to broader social justice themes like racial discrimination, poverty, and patriotism.
The exhibition opens with a reception on Dec. 4 at 4 p.m. The free event will include art, community health resources, free HIV testing, and more.
The month-long exhibition coincides with World AIDS Day on Dec. 1, a global commemoration of those whose lives have been affected by HIV and AIDS and the work being done to end new HIV diagnoses by 2030. Georgia is currently the leader of the country in new HIV diagnoses.
