Mario Hernandez

The Wittliff Collection at Texas State is featuring a new exhibition about mental illness that offers an enlightened view. Mario Hernandez has the story.

There are 38 portraits featured in this room as part of the Fine Line exhibition, and the subjects of these portraits all have one thing in common, they share the label of mental illness.
San Antonio photographer Michael Nye spent four years photographing and recording stories that confront stereotypes and reveal the courage and fragility of those living with mental illness. The photographs are coupled with recordings that range from one to five minutes. The touring Fine Line exhibition is at the Wittliff until March 30th. The response from the community, so far, has been positive.

The Wittliff will have a reception and artist talk on February eleventh at 6:30. There will be free admission when Michael Nye talks about the exhibition.
