On World AIDS Day, Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted, unveiled the Keiskamma Art Project Tapestry.

Designer Nozeti Makhubalo, who was in Chicago for the presentation of the Keiskamma Altarpiece (a response to the AIDS epidemic in a South African community) at Chicago’s St. James Cathedral, was inspired to create the tapestry after visiting the Center. Michael Leppen, who commissioned the tapestry, helped unveil the item. Photo of Tico Valle, Amy Maggio and Leppen by Hal Baim.
