Stories Beyond Status

Storytellers discuss and share their stories of living with HIV/AIDS in this special collaboration between Ottawa StoryTellers and Qu'ART

This special presentation will feature a range of creative voices and storytellers sharing their lived experiences and personal histories of HIV/AIDS.

The evening is co-presented by Qu’ART – Ottawa Queer Arts Collective – in collaboration with local HIV/AIDS service organizations in this lead-up to World AIDS Day 2021.

A $5 donation will be made to The Canadian AIDS Memorial Quilt for every $25 ticket purchased (either in-person or live stream). The Quilt serves as a living memory of almost 25,000 Canadians who have died of AIDS-related causes and tells their stories. Donations are needed for the maintenance of the Quilt, including cleaning and restoration.
