Department of Art & Public Policy Chair Pato Hebert is operating as an artist that provokes social change through exhibiting his work Lingering in Pitzer Galleries this winter.

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. It was created with a collaborative work by Sarah Gilbert.

Lingering will be on display from today through April 16, 2022. It is the second exhibition in Pitzer College Art Galleries’ Faculty-Driven Exhibition series, curated by Associate Professor in Media Studies, Ruti Talmor.
