Anya Gallaccio has won the commission to create an AIDS Memorial near the site of the UK's first specialized HIV ward, opened and supported by Princess Diana. Located in Fitzrovia, London, the memorial is backed by a £130,000 contribution from the Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm, secured by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. The memorial's design features a tree trunk with a hollowed-out space and aims to serve as a meeting place and heart for community-generated events and oral histories, set to be unveiled at the end of 2027.
