Join us on World AIDS Day for the launch of Holding HOPE, a new poetry collection from the HOPE Community Arts Integrated Research program.About this Event
On World AIDS Day, Monday, December 1, 2025, we invite you to the launch of Holding HOPE, a poetry book created by focus group participants and HOPE community members. This project takes HIV and HIV cure research awareness into new circles, using art as a bridge to science and as a catalyst for dialogue. The event will include networking, live poetry readings, a moment of silence, and discussion on art as activism. Together, we honor survival, legacy, and the possibilities of a cure.
