This month the LSU Museum of Art opens a new exhibition, presenting work by artist Letitia Huckaby titled This Same Dusty Road. Huckaby's family, faith, and Louisiana cultural heritage are expressed in the exhibit via her quilted photographic works. Incorporating heirloom fabrics, photographs, and hand-quilting techniques, Huckaby presents the matriarchal legacy of her family and confronts the inequities they have, and still, face. In addition to family portraits, one series features the Sisters of the Holy Family Motherhouse, one of the earliest convents for African American Women founded by Henriette DeLille in 1842.
A virtual artist talk featuring Huckaby in conversation with LSU MOA Curator Courtney Taylor will take place via Zoom on September 24 at 5:30 pm. "This Same Dusty Road" will be on display at the museum through March 14, 2021. lsumoa.org.
