MESA STATE TO PRESENT "NATIVE FACES - DESERT LIGHT"
Wednesday, April 27
7:30 p.m., Saccomanno Lecture Hall
Science Building, Mesa State College

Grand Junction, Colo. - The Mesa State College Native American Student Council will present "Native Faces - Desert Light," a multi-media exhibit by master photographer David H. Davis, on April 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Science Building's Saccomanno Lecture Hall.

Davis's exhibit is part of his ongoing "Native American in the Landscape" project, which features spectacular settings on and around various southwest reservations. His photographs are composed in such a manner that both the settings and the native people included in them are art in themselves. The images are then set to motion with a variety of effects, including music, poetry and Navajo narration. English subtitles are provided.

The Mesa State College event will be Davis's first public showing of the multi-media exhibit since it was featured on Rocky Mountain PBS in November 2004. He will be on hand to answer questions following the showing.

The Native Faces - Desert Light" exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Native American Student Council at 970.248.1193 or David Davis at 970.243.1507.
