Collaborating with Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility and the Institute of Neurotoxicology and Neurological Disorders, the exhibit has been shown in nine communities throughout the state of Washington. The exhibit will include new contributions from Oregon artists including Tiel Aisha Ansari, the 13 Hats collective, Leah Stenson, David Hedges, and Scott T. Starbuck.
