Activism was central to Keith Haring’s artistic practice. This summer, the Walker is amplifying Haring’s message with a night of music, energy, and social activation. Though rooted in the pressing concerns of the 1980s, Haring’s commitment to justice, love, solidarity, and his queer community remains relevant today.
In the spirit of Haring’s dedication to HIV/AIDS advocacy, the Aliveness Project partners with the Walker to spread awareness and positivity. Join the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence for face art and portrait sessions in the Bazinet lobby, artmaking on the hillside, free on-site HIV testing, and additional organizations in the field will provide both information and resources for the modern queer community. Explore activities, win prizes, and relax with DJ Nicole White for an evening dedicated to Haring and the impact of his work on and off the canvas. Please enjoy curated picnic snacks and libations from Cardamom, which are available for purchase on the hillside. Menus available upon request.
Galleries are open late and free on Thursday nights from 5 to 9 pm.
