12 7 newsmagazine Mn Common Threads: wy Past, Present and Futt -_ AIDS Memorial Quilt display at by Sara Halterman * WCnewsmagazine The worlds largest active community arts project is coming to the WCU campus. The AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on display in the University Center Grand Room February 11th through the 14th. The quilt is a memorial commemorating people who have died of AIDS and is described as one of the greatest memorials of our time- and one of historys most powerful works of art. The quilt continues to grow as panels are submitted from around the world, honoring lost loved ones. Currently, the quiltis made up of over 44,000 individual 3 by 6-foot panels. Western plans to display 128 of these panels, some with Western North Carolina ties. Director of the A.K. Hinds University Center Julie Walters-Steele says, Most of these panels have a Western North Carolina connection. Once the word got out to the community that WCU was presenting a display, we had people call and request that panels for loved ones be displayed. Steele is part of the AIDS Project Committee at WCU in charge of overseeing the display while its here at the campus. The Committee includes WCU faculty, staff, and students as well as representatives from service agencies in the community. The AIDS Memorial Quilt serves as an important tool in raising awareness about the HIV virus. Recently, North Carolina has become the leading state in the nation with the highest increase of HIV infection among college age students. Steele hopes the quilt will increase awareness and educate the campus community. We hope students will realize that AIDS continues to be a real threat, especially among the college communities of North Carolina. The committee has organized other activities in relation to the quilt display. HIV Activist Elaine Pasqua speaks February 13th in the Ramsey Center; February 7th Multicultural Affairs scheduled a guest speaker from the Western North Carolina AIDS Project at 8pm in the UC Multi-purpose room. On the same day a quilt making session will be held from 11am to 1pm and 6pm to 8pm in the Multicultural Center located on the 3rd floor of the University Center. This is an opportunity for students to make a panel memorializing someone who has lost their life to HIV/AIDS. The panel will later be dedicated a . s WCU Feb. 11-14 as part of the quilt. The history of the quilt dates back to 1987 when HIV Activist Cleve Jones created the first panel in memory of his friend Marvin Feldmen. From this patchwork panel Jones = and his friends decided to create a memorial for people who had died of AIDS. That same year Jones and several others formed the NAMES Project Foundation who would become the care-takers for the memorial quilt. The NAMES Projects mission is to preserve, care for and use the AIDS Memorial Quilt to inspire action, heighten awareness and foster healing in the age of AIDS. Word began to spread about the patchwork monument and soon panels were pouring in from all over the world. The quilt was first displayed in its entirety in 1987 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. consisting of a mere 1,920 panels. Its initial display in 1987 created an overwhelming call-to- action, which lead to a national tour by where sections of the quilt would be displayed Separately in cities across the United States. Sections of the quilt have been touring worldwide ever since. The quilt has since only been displayed four times in its entirety. In its last display in 1996 the quilt covered the entire space of the National Mall. Today the quilt consists of more than 44,000 panels containing the names of over 82,000 AIDS victims. It measures close to 1,278,675 square feet and has nearly 52 miles of fabric with a weight of 54 tons.
