Question
A Barcelona mural commemorating this event features the letter “X” placed on the three wise monkeys in red. A 175-pound pile of candy is central to a Félix González-Torres work honoring Ross Laycock, a victim of this event. A purple painting left incomplete by Keith Haring to memorialize this event was controversially “completed” with AI by an X user in 2023. The NAMES project memorializes this event’s victims in a massive quilt. The advocacy group ACT UP raised awareness about this event with a black poster featuring the words “SILENCE = DEATH” (“silence equals death”) and a pink triangle. For 10 points, what epidemic disproportionately affected gay artists in the 1980s? ■END■
ANSWER: the AIDS crisis [accept the HIV crisis or the HIV/AIDS crisis; accept “Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome” in place of “AIDS”; accept “Human Immunodeficiency Virus” in place of “HIV”; accept equivalents like “epidemic” in place of “crisis”; accept Together We Can Stop AIDS or Todos Juntos Podemos Parar el SIDA; prompt on answers indicating the death of Ross Layock by asking “” before “Laycock” is read by asking “which was a result of what larger event?”]
