During "Du Quoditien" sessions, individuals were invited to sit for portraits and present a personal, hand-held object for documentation. The culmination of these efforts resulted in a large-scale, 40-panel artwork installation at the U.S. Embassy in Niamey, Niger. This project spanned two-day sessions in November 2018 and January 2019, underscoring an engagement with international and diverse university communities.

The Hershberger Art Gallery at Goshen College, located at 1700 S Main St, Goshen, IN 46526, has been the site for such exhibitions.
