Immune Nations: The Art and Science of Global Vaccination

This catalogue documents a multi-year art-science project called Immune Nations, produced on the occasion of its exhibition at the McMaster Museum of Art in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Initiated in 2014 and co-led by Steven Hoffman (York University) , Sean Caulfield (University of Alberta) , and Natalie Loveless (University of Alberta) , Immune Nations brought together scientists, policy experts, academic scholars, and artists to work on an interdisciplinary and collaborative research-creation project tackling complex issues related to the use and distribution of vaccines in the world today. The project launched at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art's Galeri KiT (2017) , moved to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) headquarters building in Geneva, Switzerland (2017) , and concluded at the McMaster Museum of Art at McMaster University (2021) ..
