This volume documents the radical visual strategies of the New York-based collective Gran Fury, whose work became synonymous with the AIDS activism of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Through a rigorous examination of their public interventions, the book explores how the group utilized graphic design and mass media tactics to challenge institutional indifference and confront the political failures surrounding the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It serves as a vital record of art as a tool for social transformation.
