Thank you to everyone who attended the Sydney Candlelight Memorial on Sunday at the Collider venue on Pitt Street. 🕯️

It was a poignant and moving service. City of Sydney Councilor Yvonne Weldon welcomed us to Country, and Western Sydney Sexual Health Centre Director David Lewis was the keynote speaker, sharing a history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. With the kind assistance of the Powerhouse team, a panel of the AIDS Memorial Quilt was on display.

We treasure our memories of those we have lost, and recall the light they brought into the world. We will never forget them. This event is produced in partnership with @positivelifensw. Photos by @deepfieldphoto.
