“Shortly after the man I was building my life around, Don Yowell, died of AIDS in 1984, I formed a consciousness-raising collective with five of my friends to help me through it,” Finkelestein said. The group, which also included Brian Howard, Oliver Johnston, Charles Kreloff, Chris Lione, and Jorge Soccarás, found themselves talking more and more about the political crisis they saw forming—and the lack of public discourse around it.
The final product, which displayed the words “Silence=Death” combined with an upward-facing pink triangle floating above it, were meant to appear cryptic from a distance—yet still attract those passing by it to take a closer look, read the small type, and, ultimately, take action. The poster is still used by ACT UP today, and has become synonymous with the LGBTQ+ rights movement. It was part of an exhibition at David Zwirner last year titled “More Life” that included a limited-edition print sale of the poster.
