The Red Ribbon is an internationally recognized symbol of AIDS awareness. The Red Ribbon Project was created in 1991 by the Visual AIDS group in New York. It has been used worldwide to stand in solidarity with people that live with HIV/AIDS. It is with this in mind that I have chosen this vibrant color as the main theme for this project. You can see it featured in my dresses, posters, and website. I have chosen to pass out red ribbons at the recital because a big part of this project is showcasing the history of the AIDS Crisis and how it affected the LGBTQ+ community.
