In this solo exhibition, NY-based artist Pato Hebert addresses topics ranging from chronic illness and disability to viral impacts on neurology and language. As a COVID-19 long hauler, Hebert has contributed to conversations on issues of access, ableism and wellness since the pandemic started in 2020.

Visiting Artist Pato Hebert will be on campus from August 24 - September 12.

His residency and exhibition are supported by a James Madison University College of Visual and Performing Arts Inclusive Excellence Cultural Connections Project Award as well as the Dorothy Liskey Wampler Distinguished Professorship of Art Award.
