The AIDS Memorial Centerpiece Sculpture: ‘andimgonnamisseverybody’, is a Dikenga, a spiritual marking of the crossroads made up of speakers embodying the ongoing connection to our ancestors and to our family on the other side.
The purpose of this event is to reclaim space, celebrate and honor our folks who have passed on, and to build community and build Black Power in the face of ongoing health crises disproportionately impacting Black and Black LGBTQ folks.
