While a lot of the imagery that appears on totes and t-shirts is more family friendly, Haring’s work was deeply political, often sexual. He was diagnosed with HIV in 1987 and much of his work in the last years of his life was focused on awareness and activism around AIDS.
On May 4, 1958, gay American artist and activist Keith Haring was born.
He had an explosive career with a playful cartoon-like pop art style that penetrated the mainstream and is still found all over the world today.
@max_ottawa staff attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the future site of the Thunderhead monument in Ottawa the other day!

Madonna’s Like A Prayer album was released in 1989, 35 years ago today.
The patchouli scented LP carried safer sex info.
At a time when homophobia was rife, spurred by fear of AIDS, this was an act of remarkable allyship.
