Mark Sloan, director of the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, met Lobo at the Houston FotoFest in 2005. Sloan was on the review committee, and, after meeting and talking with Lobo, knew that he wanted to bring him to the Lowcountry. As part of the Bluesphere project, the Halsey invited Lobo to Charleston, where he is working as an artist-in-residence at the College of Charleston as well as at the Art Institute. Lobo will be a guest lecturer in a series of photography and political science classes at both campuses.
