The expanded solo show of The Plague Archives at the De Saisset Museum included multiple large scale wall drawings, video projections, audio installations, performances, and multiple collages of my dense collection of archival material on the social, cultural, and political histories of epidemics and outbreaks.

The viewer walks into an immersive Wunderkammer of malady: to experience how people in circumstances of mass illness have negotiated their fear and suffering—their political, economic, and spiritual realities—their class and racial bigotries. To not just learn history, but to feel history.

The show included multiple videos: Productions of Whiteness, Great Men and Sheep, and The Film Theory of Germs.

It also included interactive installations: The Sounds of Syphillis and Tracing Board.
