Join Blast Theory artist Matt Adams and Mütter Museum Manager Nancy Hill for a discussion about art, pandemics and Spit Spreads Death: The Parade.

In 2019, the Mütter Museum commissioned UK artists Blast Theory to make an artwork as part of our Spit Spreads Death exhibit. The artists created a parade for hundreds of Philadelphians to remember the devastation of the 1918 flu pandemic and to thank public health workers.
