Spit Spreads Death
Beth collaborated with artist collective Blast Theory from the UK and the Philadelphia College of Physicians to catalyze community-engagement efforts for Spit Spreads Death, a public parade and exhibition at the Mütter Museum commemorating the 100-year legacy of the 1918 influenza pandemic in Philadelphia, with the goal of including perspectives from neighborhood residents and community members in the exhibition and the events surrounding its launch.
