 Alexis explores the culture of food and the relationships we develop with food as a coping mechanism. By extension, she hopes to bring awareness to a pandemic affecting South Texas and the health-related complications that can arise from the abuse of this relationship with food.

There will be a workshop on June 18 from 8 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. at the Pecan Campus Ceramic Lab, B 115, 3201 W Blvd, McAllen, TX. The exhibit will be held at the STC Mid-Valley Campus Library Art Gallery, E 1.210, 400 N Border Ave in Weslaco, TX.

Admission is free and open to the public. The exhibit opens Tuesday, June 4 and runs through August 9.

STC’s Library Art Gallery Program organizes exhibitions and educational programs to engage student understanding of art and its role in culture, support academic curriculum, and inspire continued education through direct engagement with artists, scholars, and original works of art.
