Kinfolk collaborated with the New York City AIDS Memorial to create Portals of Remembrance, an exhibition featuring three augmented reality (AR) monuments created by four renowned contemporary artists: Derek Fordjour, Egyptt LaBeija, Tourmaline, and Jacolby Satterwhite. Reimagining the New York City AIDS Memorial as a dynamic site of memory and empowerment through the Kinfolk app, this exhibition aims to honor and illuminate the stories of underrepresented figures within the HIV/AIDS movement.
