World AIDS Day Remembrance Ceremony At Seattle AIDS Memorial Pathway

December 1, 2021• byMichael Strangeways

It’s December 1st so it’s World AIDS Day, a time to remember and reflect on those we’ve lost to HIV/AIDS and those who still deal with it on a daily basis AND a time to honor the fight to find a cure for HIV/AIDS in our lifetime.

In Seattle, the day will be honored with a ceremony at our brand new memorial, the SEATTLE AIDS MEMORIAL PATHWAY which is centered around the Capitol Hill Light Rail Station and Cal Anderson Park with multiple installations as part of the pathway project.

The focal point for the memorial seems to be the “Big Speaker X” that dominates the courtyard at the Light Rail Station Plaza just off of Denny Way/Barbara Bailey Way. That piece, called “andimgonnamisseverybody” is by Christopher Paul Jordan has become a popular meeting place for community events.

Central Plaza

This 20′ x 20′ sculpture, created by Christopher Paul Jordan,
is sited in the North end of the public plaza. The piece is a
portal into the spaces of radical gathering, hospitality, celebration,
and care that have arisen throughout the history of AIDS.

In remembrance of the 40th anniversary of the first reported cases of the AIDS epidemic, Gay City, The AMP, and community organizers will host a World AIDS Day commemoration.We will remember those impacted by HIV/AIDS and address the importance of lifting up research and prevention efforts.The hybrid event will be in-person and online.

SCHEDULE
4:00 p.m. – Program
4:30 p.m. – Vigil

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
