Display Hosts: Connecticut College • Pfizer • Avangrid
Display Host: Connecticut College - For World AIDS Day in 2018, Connecticut College displayed nine sections of the Quilt, covering three entire walls of Tansill Theater and enveloping viewers in fabric as they entered the Hall. “There is so much we can learn about compassion from the Quilt,” said Ginny Anderson, co-coordinator of that display. “Experiencing the Quilt in this way is rare. Often, it’s displayed as one section of 8 panels, so being surrounded by the Quilt with nine of the larger sections is incredibly powerful.” There’s a sort of bittersweetness that comes over you, but also a sense of remembrance that we have yet to stitch the final panel. We look forward to a time when we can gather again to see the Quilt, perhaps for World AIDS Day 2021.
