Join us for the fourth lecture from the 2025 Mildred Berryman Institute Lecture Series. In-person and virtual options available (see zoom link below). Featured Speaker: Sascha Darlington This lecture delves into the intersectional strategies of early HIV/AIDS activism, particularly focusing on the ways LGBTQ+ communities - especially Queer People of Color - transformed grief and neglect into grassroots action, visibility, and public health advocacy. Sascha’s work uses desire-centered historical research to highlight the dynamic and diverse coalitions that emerged during the crisis, and how their legacies continue to shape activism today. Special thanks to Signature Books for allowing us to host this event in their space! Please plan plenty of time to find parking and join us early to find your seat. Parking lot has limited spaces. Convenient street parking is also available. TICKETS: Sliding scale ticket cost. Tickets not required but we request you pay what you are able to help support Utah queer history!
