Artists have long raised their voices against injustice, channeled their unique talents to raise awareness of important topics, picked up cameras to document the world as it should be seen, and rallied movements around shared ideals. The Broad collection includes many artists whose artwork addresses cultural crises and current social and political topics. Throughout their careers, the speakers featured in The Broad’s World AIDS Day 2025 program have defiantly and proudly shaped how we see the AIDS crisis, along with other pertinent issues. This conversation traces a timeline from the US government mishandling the onset of HIV/AIDS in the 1980s, to Proposition 8 for same-sex marriage, the Covid-19 crisis, and repeated attempts to silence and strip rights from LGBTIA+ individuals, immigrants, and other marginalized people.
