For Your Consideration: 'The AIDS Activist Project'


Via news release:
A new book of unique photographic portraits depicting AIDS activists from around the world, including members of ACT UP (The AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) chapters in the United States and Europe, will be published in the spring of 2015. Veteran photographer and ACT UP/NY member Bill Bytsura has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the publication of his coffee table-style art book, titled "The AIDS Activist Project." 
“'The AIDS Activist Project' is a memorial to the brave men and women who died while fighting the epidemic and government neglect,” Bytsura said. “But this book is also a renewed call to action, because there is a pervasive myth that the AIDS epidemic is over.”  
To ensure that this project becomes a reality, supporters can visit the book's Kickstarter page HERE. For more information, and to see several portraits, visit the project's website HERE, or on Facebook HERE
