Materia Medica explores the movement of people, practices and materials associated with labor. For this exhibition I have collected materials connected to Mexican workers involved with Bethlehem Steel. You see cyanotype prints of images, and documents from the library archives of Lehigh Valley University Penn State University Library Special Collection, and The National Museum of Industrial History. “Materia Medica” is a medicine book derived from Greek Physician, Pharmacologist, and Bontist Dioscorides. Illustrated in the book are drawings of natural materials and their uses. Metals are included within the book.
