[Culture] Iconic AIDS memorial on show

The US AIDS Memorial Quilt long outgrew the National Mall in Washington, DC, USA where it was first displayed in 1987. There are currently almost 50 000 panels (and counting), arranged in blocks of eight, honouring over 110 000 individuals. Stretched out, the Quilt would span 1·2 million square feet. It is easily the biggest piece of communal folk art ever created.
