Exhibition Lecture Series with Letitia Huckaby, Marcellis Perkins, and Johnica Rivers
2024-12-13 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Chicago) | Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St., Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
Photo: Letitia Huckaby
Join us for a compelling conversation featuring artist Letitia Huckaby and Texas Christian University (TCU) doctoral candidate Marcellis Perkins, moderated by writer and curator Johnica Rivers. The discussion will explore Huckaby’s photographs in the special exhibition Diaries of Home. Huckaby was selected to create a pair of portraits depicting Charley and Kate Thorp, a formerly enslaved couple who played a crucial role at AddRan Male and Female College (later renamed TCU) from its founding in 1873. The Portrait Project tells TCU’s story through diverse portraiture around the campus that commemorates historically marginalized and underrepresented members of the university’s community.
Since no known photographs of the Thorps exist, Huckaby photographed their living descendants to craft silhouette portraits that honor the couple’s enduring legacy. The resulting series, A Living Requiem, is a collection of these descendant photographs, on display in Diaries of Home. Rivers will lead a conversation on the Thorp family’s impact and Huckaby’s unique approach to capturing their history through art.

Empire Builders: Dutch Golden Age
2025-01-05 14:00 - 15:00 UTC | Kimbell Art Museum, Kimbell Art Museum, Camp Bowie Boulevard, Fort Worth, TX, USA, Fort Worth, TX, United States
The Dutch Empire (2021, 55 min.)

After successful trading missions to the Spice Islands (Indonesia) the Dutch established the East India Company (VOC) which was to grow into the world’s largest multi-national corporation in the 17th century. The VOC developed a near monopoly of the Asian spice trade and its huge maritime fleet became the world’s most powerful and profitable shipping company. Far from celebrating their so called “Golden Age”, the Dutch today are actively debating their colonial legacy which involved the enslavement and exploitation of millions in both their former Asian and Caribbean colonies.
How did the newly independent Netherlands emerge as a global superpower in the seventeenth century? This two-part series chronicles naval exploration and global commerce, scientific advances, and the booming art market in the Dutch Golden Age. Offered in conjunction with the special exhibition Dutch Art in a Global Age: Masterpieces from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
