The book spotlights the art collective Gran Fury, born out of the activist group ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) in the late 1980s. This was a period when the AIDS pandemic was wreaking havoc on queer individuals, intravenous drug users, and communities of color in the United States.

The narrative delves into the impactful art and activism of Gran Fury, from memorable creations like the “Kissing Doesn’t Kill” poster to the dramatic act of scattering counterfeit bills on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Lowery paints a complex and poignant picture of a collective and its members, who forged essential bonds with each other while enduring the profound trauma of the AIDS crisis.
