Collection includes materials from "CAFO Culture: Visualizing Factory Farming in Virginia," an exhibition sponsored by the Mapping Virginia CAFO's Project (Commonwealth Center for Energy and Environment) at William & Mary from October 16-30, 2015.

From exhibit description: "This interdisciplinary exhibition explores various techniques in the arts and sciences for visualizing environmental impacts of factory farming in Virginia today, specifically concerning concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) - also known as factory farms - which adversely affect the Chesapeake Bay and other ecosystems. The exhibition is part of a larger project on Mapping Virginia CAFO's at the College of William & Mary that seeks to open a conversation across disciplines about environmental problems related to factory farming in Virginia and assess different strategies of visual representation in order to understand how to disseminate information about those problems to the public."

The collection is arranged into three series: Promotional materials, Exhibit panels, and Artwork. The Artwork is arranged by artist's last name and includes photographs, maps mixed media pieces. Exhibit labels are also located in each artist folder.
