"Marea" Photography Exhibit by WMU Art Professor Patricia Villalobos Echeverría

The exhibit, titled “Marea,” will run through Feb. 17 in the Eleanor R. and Robert A. DeVries Gallery of the Davidson Visual and Performing Arts Center, on campus at 450 North Ave. The exhibit is free and open to the public for viewing from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

An opening reception for the exhibit, also free and open to the public, will be held with the artist from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 26, in the gallery. Face masks will be required for opening reception attendees.

The exhibit consists of six images from Villalobos Echeverría’s “Marea Series.” According to the artist, the series “speaks about migration, exile and the tenuous relationship of the contemporary body to locale. Its title functions as a double entendre – in Spanish, it’s the noun for tide, as well as the verb for being dizzy or seasick.”
