Graphic Intervention: 25 Years of International AIDS Awareness Posters 1985–2010, curated by Elizabeth Resnick and Javier Cortés, presents 153 powerful posters from 44 countries, drawn from the International Poster Gallery archive and MassArt donations. Spanning the peak of the global HIV/AIDS crisis, the book documents the poster’s vital resurgence as an affordable, locally adaptable medium for urgent public-health messaging in regions with limited electronic media. Through stark warnings, cultural metaphors, and iconic images—from the American “I Have AIDS, Please Hug Me” to Chaz Maviyane-Davies’ branded red-ribbon works in Zimbabwe—these designs educated on prevention, fought stigma, and humanized the epidemic. Accompanying the 2010–2012 traveling exhibition, this full-color volume remains an essential testament to graphic design’s role in confronting one of history’s deadliest pandemics.
