Glow Puppet Sets Symbols for World AIDS Day in Stuttgart - Stuttgart’s glowing AIDS memorial unites art, remembrance and action
A striking eight-metre-tall light sculpture lit up Stuttgart’s city centre this World AIDS Day. The glowing figure, draped in the red ribbon symbol, stood as a memorial to those affected by HIV and AIDS. Behind the display was the Stuttgarter Aids-Hilfe association, aiming to raise awareness through art and remembrance.
The luminous figure was brought to life by the artist collective Dundu. Performers animated its movements, embodying themes of human connection and mutual support—core values of the AIDS charity movement. The event drew crowds before concluding with a silent march to a memorial site, honouring lives lost to the virus.
The Stuttgart installation served as both a memorial day and a call to action. As infections persist and treatment access remains uneven, the event highlighted ongoing solidarity. Organisers hope the visual tribute will keep the conversation—and the fight—alive.
