Gran Fury, a collective of AIDS activists working in the 80s and 90s, harnessed the power of public art to combat the stigma against AIDS bolstered by the political climate. In one such work, Gran Fury produced a poster that displayed an interracial and two queer couples kissing with a tagline hovering above their heads that read, “Kissing Doesn’t Kill: Greed and Indifference Do.” Gran Fury manipulated the power of mass media advertising in order to disseminate this work. The poster was affixed to numerous New York City buses, allowing the message to infiltrate and circulate the streets of New York City. In this way, the message was inescapable. It drew people out of their comfortable conceptions of love and AIDS and forced them to confront the reality of love: that it comes in infinite shapes and sizes, it is not a punishable act, and it is not undermined by the existence of a disease.
