Mazzoni Center is a Philadelphia health agency serving the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community, specializing in HIV treatment and care. Curator Christopher Veit credits the Mazzoni Center with saving his life and is taking the words of his mentor Jack Pierson-"you only get back what you put out in life"-to heart in creating "HeartWorks."
