Art of the AIDS Crisis
A common ideology in AIDS activist organizations was that art may be able to deliver a message, but could never save lives as science could.
 Art of the AIDS crisis typically sought to: make a sociopolitical statement, stress the medical impact of the disease, or express feelings of longing and loss.
 These ideologies were present in conceptions of art in the 1980s, but are pertinent to reception of art today as well.
 More specifically, Elizabeth Taylor spoke at a benefit for AIDS involving artwork, emphasizing its importance to activism in that, "art lives on forever."
 This comment articulates the ability of artwork from this time to teach and impact contemporary audiences, post-crisis.
