    Science Museum Group Journal AIDS memorials from obituaries to artworks – a photo essay Journal ISSN number: 2054-5770 This article was written by Jörn Wolters 11-25-2020 Cite as 10.15180; 201403 Photo essay AIDS memorials from obituaries to artworks – a photo essay Published in Curating Medicine, Issue 14 Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/201403 Keywords AIDS memorial, Online repository, Remembrance, Mourning, Healing, Activism, Conservation, Necrology, Monument, Oral history, Cultural heritage, History of medicine Introduction The first public report of a rare disease among gay men occurred on 18 May 1981 in the New York Native, then the leading gay newspaper in the US, repeating New York City public-health officials’ claims that there was no wave of disease sweeping through the gay community. But only two and a half weeks later, on 5 June, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) published the first clinical report on five incidences of Pneumocystis jirovecii (formerly P. carinii) pneumonia (PCP) in a cluster of injecting drug users and homosexual men, an opportunistic infection which will become one of the AIDS-defining illnesses. The New York Times promoted the term ‘Gay-related Immune Deficiency’ (GRID), while researchers used the term ‘4H disease’ to describe affected heroin users, homosexuals, haemophiliacs and Haitians. The CDC introduced the name Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) on 27 July 1982. Ever since individuals began to die from the disease, memorials and monuments have been created and this photo essay charts the evolution of these from the 1980s to the present day, showing the variety of forms these have taken from informal, ephemeral and activist orientated endeavours to more formal and institutionalised projects.
