On the east side of Chalmers Hall, Bell installed the piece Charlottesville. In this work, Bell reframes coverage of the 2017 Charlottesville protests, allocating more space for coverage and documentation of the deadly violence. Bell encourages viewers to prioritize discussion of the white nationalist rally in a college town and the violent aftermath of the counterprotests.
