In Conversation: Cleve Jones, Ian van Tillo and Siobhán Lanigan
Tramway25 Albert Drive
Sun 13 Sept
About this event
Cleve Jones conceived the AIDS Memorial Quilt in San Francisco in 1985. He is joined in conversation with Ian van Tillo – who worked on the UK Quilt from its earliest days in Leith, alongside its founder, his husband Ally van Tillo – and Siobhán Lanigan, chair of the Partnership that brought the Quilt out of storage. Together they will revisit the origins of the quilt and reflect on what it means now, as it returns to Scotland. This event is part of a public programme curated by Steven Grainger to accompany the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt exhibition at Tramway. Recommended for ages 16+ Audience note Audiences may find the content deeply moving, emotional, or distressing, as it deals with themes of illness, bereavement, social stigma, and historical marginalisation. ACCESS Tramway is fully wheelchair accessible. See more information about venue access on our Access page Image shows Ally van Tillo with the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt in Scotland.

Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
