Project Details

Chicago’s Parks are a monument to its civic values. Messaging of changing times is becoming perceptible as open spaces shift to express our society’s priorities and the space around public artworks begins to capture our societal drive towards an equitable future. Started by one person’s desire to heal a community impacted by the HIV and AIDS Epidemic, AIDS Garden Chicago is set to transform and transcend into a legacy project through diversity, equity, and inclusion.
