The newly renovated Unity College Center for the Arts (UCCA) is set to host a new art exhibit titled “Up River” by photographer Susan Metzger. According to Metzger, the work shown in this exhibition is both a personal and intentional quiet revolt against all of the constantly streaming bad news media since 2016. said Metzger. The show will run Aug. 30-Oct. 20.
“I live on a peninsula between two tidal rivers. Every evening, for the past three years, during the spring tide I go to those rivers and visit a singular and local way of life structured around season, sunrise, sunset, the incoming tide, available moonlight, and good luck,” said Metzger, who took the photos using a vintage film cameras and 120mm or 35mm film.
There will be an opening reception for “Up River” on Thursday, Aug. 30, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Refreshments will be provided. The reception is free and open to the public.
