Starting 2021, New York’s ACT UP chapter and Treatment Action Plan (TAG) host an annual health fair for NYC LGBTQIA+ Pride. The fair provides essential health services directly to LGBTQIA+ communities, including on-site testing, vaccines, and harm reduction resources.
Art direction, posters, and social media for 2025’s Pride Health Fair, themed Science, Activism, Survival: Fully Funded + Fully Protected.
In collaboration with ACT UP NY and TAG.
Organized with Ivy Kwan Arce and Jake Toblan.
Reflecting present day issues and needs, the fair was thematically framed this year on grassroots community-oriented efforts to empower people with tools for survival against growing systemic harm and increased corporatization.
Plastic wrap is used not only as a visual metaphor for for increased corporate presence at pride but also as a method of preservation.
Upon entry, visitors received punch cards that could marked when engaging with each partnering organization booth at the fair. A completed card could be traded in for a prize.
