University of Connecticut, Storrs

The Pandemic Journaling Project (PJP) team is proud to bring our traveling version of Picturing the Pandemic: Images from the Pandemic Journaling Project to Babbidge Library at the University of Connecticut (UConn) in Storrs, Connecticut, in March 2025.

UConn is one of PJP’s home institutions, along with Brown University. Together, PJP and the Picturing the Pandemic exhibition have received generous support from across UConn, especially from the Humanities Institute, Human Rights Institute, Office of the Vice President for Research, Provost's Office, Global Affairs,  and InCHIP (Institute for Collaboration on Health, Intervention, and Policy). A full sponsor list is available here.

Picturing the Pandemic is an exhibition of images and audio contributed to the Pandemic Journaling Project, an online journaling platform and research study created in May 2020 with the goal of pre-designing an archive of COVID-19 narratives and experiences, especially from people whose stories might not otherwise be heard, or preserved, as a form of grassroots collaborative ethnography and archival activism. 

UConn’s Babbidge Library is the sixth stop for Picturing the Pandemic, which launched in Hartford in Fall 2022 in collaboration with local partners, followed by additional exhibition stops in Providence, Heidelberg, Mexico City, and Toronto.

In April 2025, the exhibit will travel to Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs in Syracuse, New York.
