SUMMARY:C. Rose Smith presents “Making Beauty: Hooks Brothers Studio, 1912 – 1983 ..”
DESCRIPTION:Full Title: Making Beauty: Hooks Brothers Studio, 1912-1983, Memphis and African American PhotographyJoin us as C. Rose shares their research which examines twentieth-century African and African American portrait studios, tracing connections across the Americas, Africa, and Europe  About the Speaker: C. Rose Smith is a photographer and Assistant Curator of Photography at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art. As a photographer, their work redresses the history and legacy of cotton and the reduction of African Americans as a commodity. In their curatorial practice, their research examines twentieth-century African and African American portrait studios, tracing connections across the Americas, Africa, and Europe, and how contemporary photographers review and engage with historical photography archives in their work to construct new, layered narratives. Smith is organizing the first exhibition and catalogue to celebrate the practice of the Hooks Brothers Studio, while stewarding a preservation project for their archive. This archive is the largest collection of photographs by an African American photo studio in the Mid-South. In previous roles, Smith contributed to rotating exhibitions and managed the photography collections at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY, and Boston University Libraries inBoston, MA. They hold an M.F.A. in Photography and Related Media from Rochester Institute of Technology																										Email																																									Sponsored by: Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural LifeSubscribe for event notifcations!Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.
