SILENCE=DEATH

0 upcoming performances in New York

SILENCE=DEATH traces the New York origins of a small collective that responded to the AIDS crisis with a blunt graphic message and a strategy of public visibility. Set against the political chill of the 1980s, it follows how a poster moved from downtown walls into the city’s broader activist vocabulary. The work reads as a record of cultural production under pressure, where design functions as organizing. Its critical point is simple: when institutions stalled, artists built their own public language.
