ACTING UP! tells the story of 40 years of HIV activism in the region through archives, testimonies and films. This free exhibition honours the memories of lives lost and continues the fight for a world free of HIV stigma and discrimination.
The main exhibition is on the ground floor of Central Library until December 2025, with a special display in the first floor Reading Room until June 2025.
Acting Up! is organised by George House Trust, a charity which provides support, advice, information and advocacy services to people living with HIV in Greater Manchester and the wider North West.
The exhibition is part of ‘40 years of HIV Activism in Greater Manchester’, a project marking 40 years of George House Trust and the broader regional response to HIV.
