Pitzer College Art Galleries
Art Exhibition: Pato Hebert: Lingering
Tuesdays-Saturdays; reservations required
Kallick Family Gallery, West Hall
Showing now through April 16
Curated by Associate Professor of Media Studies Ruti Talmor, Lingering addresses the COVID-19 condition of long-hauling, in which ongoing COVID symptoms persist well after the initial infection. The exhibition traces the ongoing process of recovery as a site for healing, creativity, and questioning, and the frustrations of seeking care for the varied and extensive symptoms of long-term illness.
Art Exhibition: Pau S. Pescador, Working
Tuesdays-Saturdays; reservations required
Lenzner Family Gallery, Atherton Hall
January 29-April 2
Pau S. Pescador: Working explores the stories of trans individuals who work in the civil service sector in a time when legal protections have become contested ground and successive Presidential administrations have issued opposing orders on the rights of employees based on gender, gender expression, and sexual orientation.
Art Exhibition: Beatriz Cortez: Cosmic Portals
Tuesdays-Saturdays; reservations required
Nichols Gallery, Broad Center
February 5-April 2
Beatriz Cortez’s new body of work continues her exploration into Indigenous knowledges, multiple temporalities, and ancient forms of abstraction. A two-part installation, the exhibition features a large-scale indoor sculpture referencing an ancient Mayan observatory placed in dialogue with an outdoor work inspired by a mosaic built twenty-nine centuries ago by the ancient Olmec people. While one structure looks out toward the skies the other is directed towards the underworld.
