Hidden Histories of HIV
Talk
Wednesday 8 March 2023, 15:30 – 17:00
Join two cultural historians, Dr Hannah Elizabeth and Dr Janet Weston, who will share their research recovering the hidden histories of people affected during the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Their work unearths the stories of those often missing from mainstream narratives about HIV in the UK and Europe, such as people living and working in prisons, drug users, mothers and children, sex workers and social workers.
You will learn how Hannah Elizabeth and Janet Weston’s research has been inspired by the archives and collections here at Wellcome Collection. A selection of our HIV/AIDS posters will be available to view online and in the room.
The content will include swearing, images of naked bodies, and images of drug use.
The talk will be facilitated by HIV activist and health communications professional Paul Steinberg. There’ll be a chance to ask questions during a discussion and Q&A at the end.
