HIV/AIDS Time Capsules: Concealed Stories

HIV/AIDS Time Capsules: Concealed Stories

Until the end of 2022, the Archives gaies du Québec will be hosting a time capsule project that aims to commemorate the stories of life with HIV/AIDS.

Created by Denis Cormier-Piché, this project invites people living with HIV/AIDS or having been witnesses to this disease in their lives, to submit an anonymous capsule that can contain writing, photos, images, drawings, or poems. Any element that can help us understand what the participant has lived, and the repercussions of HIV/AIDS in their daily lives.

The capsules can be handed in to the AGQ in person, or sent by mail to our address. A consent form will be submitted to participants. The capsules will be conserved at the Archives gaies du Québec and their contents will be revealed in 2047.
