EXCERPT
In addition to the banners, activists wheat-pasted posters with pink watermelon triangles inspired by Gran Fury’s signature SILENCE = DEATH signage and bricks encased in the same fisherman’s netting pattern featured on keffiyehs, alluding to the overlap between the Palestinian liberation movement and LGBTQ+ rights movement. There were also new versions of Gran Fury’s “AIDSGATE” (1987) poster that replaced Ronald Reagan’s image with Biden’s, calling on the president to take action on Israel’s destruction of Gaza by ceasing shipments of American weapons.
