Prof. Pato Hebert gives artist talk & workshop @ Boise State University

Wednesday, Feb 20, 2019

Professor Pato Hebert is a featured artist in Boise State University's exhibition In The Mix, which explores the complexities of bi-racial and multi-racial identities to promote a larger discussion and dialogue. The exhibition opens Jan. 25 and runs through March 26 in the Visual Arts Center/Gallery One – Liberal Arts Building, room 170. Hebert also will host a workshop, “Pivots, Ruptures and Release: Embracing Change in Your Creative Practice,” where he will address artists’ creative processes using prompts, brief writing reflections, and group discussions to talk about the power of change in creative work. He will explore questions like, “How do we stay active in our work when we are scared, bored or unsure? How do we make pivots and cultivate innovation? What role can ruptures and unexpected mistakes play in our growth? How do we let go of old habits or ideas that are blocking our art? What role do colleagues, community, research and self-care play in our art making? What lessons might we glean from previous changes that have already occurred in our practices?”
