Retrospective on the life and work of the late syndicated gay political cartoonist and AIDS activist with 100+ Sotomayor political cartoons and a rare showing of the 1990's documentary "Short Fuse: Portrait of an AIDS Activist" on his journey from shy graphic artist to a force behind Chicago's chapter of ACT-Up/Chicago. Sotomayor was diagnosed with AIDS in 1988 and devoted his life to fighting for the rights and welfare of Chicago's growing population of AIDS sufferers. Refreshments. Free but donations to the Institute's restoration welcome.
