Sarah Schulman, a novelist, playwright, nonfiction writer and AIDS historian will contextualize the early years of the AIDS crisis in New York, and the specific conditions that lead to the formation of the direct action organization ACT UP (AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power.) Focusing on their most effective years 1987-1993, Schulman will engage their enormous impact, how they were so effective, and what lessons can be taken away for contemporary movements in the current cataclysm.
