It Was Vulgar and It Was Beautiful: How AIDS Activists Used Art to Fight a Pandemic by Jack Lowery

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book was an excellent glimpse into a pivotal moment in Queer history, and indeed in 20th century social movements; its focus on the marketing, messaging, and artistic arm of ActUP and AIDS activism gives a lot of insight to the former movement while also hinting on paths forward for activists today.
