It was truly a delight to launch Pride of Place: Queer Spaces of County Durham just over a week ago with Miles Nelson from Bookwyrm at People's Bookshop in Durham City! I've been overwhelmed with joy at how much everyone has supported this project #DurhamQueers

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

Sad that this can happen but countries 'can't afford' to spend money on social housing
