I’m participating in a panel discussion hosted by the Intermedia Graduate Programs at the University of Maine in conjunction with Creativity vs. COVID: Ending the Pandemic for Good.
New Exhibit: Creativity vs. COVID
Creativity vs. COVID: Ending the Pandemic for Good
Virtual exhibit.
For months I’ve been working with other members of the Free the Vaccine for COVID-19 collective (FTV) to create an exhibit that shares the group’s work with new audiences. Now it’s here! See how FTV is talking about access to Covid medicines, explore FTV’s creative actions, and sharpen your creative advocacy skills in the process. In the coming months, galleries, museums, and university groups will connect their local audiences with the show through in-person and online programs.

Essay + Exhibit on Art, Ethics, and Access to COVID Medicine
“Free the Vaccine,” IUPUI Arts and Humanities Institute, September 11, 2020. Coauthored with Steve Lambert.
I’m working with a bunch of amazing collaborators to create an exhibition about artistic activism and health equity in the COVID-19 pandemic. Creativity vs. COVID: Ending the Pandemic for Good shares the work of Free the Vaccine for COVID-19 – a collective that’s using artistic activism to make sure publicly-funded COVID tests, treatments, and (eventually) safe and effective vaccines are globally available, sustainably priced, and free to individual patients.
The exhibit goes live this fall!

After years of planning, research, and collaboration with local and international partners, it’s exciting to have Climates of Inequality on view in Indianapolis!
