Reimagine Candlelight Vigil with Author Armistead Maupin

 

Reimagine has been hosting candlelight vigils throughout the pandemic in order to break down taboos and hold space for all that we’ve lost. Their purpose as a nonprofit organization is to host a public conversation that transforms our approach to life. Reimagine are a community-wide exploration of death and celebration of life through creativity and conversation. Drawing on the arts, spirituality, healthcare, and design, they create weeklong series of events that break down taboos and bring diverse communities together in wonder, preparation, and remembrance. 

 

At this special gathering, “Tales of the City” author Armistead Maupin will discuss living through two pandemics (AIDS in the 1980s and COVID-19 today), LGBTQ+ aging, legacy, and the power of writing and creativity. The additional guest is Wilfred Labiosa, the CEO of Waves Ahead Corp, a non-profit organization in Puerto Rico focusing on the elder and LGBT+ community.
