The Catlett Legacy: A Conversation Across Generations
Elizabeth Catlett's son and grandchildren sit down for a family conversation about her legacy on Saturday, November 14, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. Admission is free; registration is required.
Elizabeth Catlett lived ninety-six years. She carved stone, pressed ink into paper, raised a family across two countries, and left behind work that insists Black women's lives deserve beauty, monument, and witness.
What is it like to be her son, her granddaughter, her grandson? To grow up in the presence of that vision and carry a name that belongs to history and to you? She Made Us is an intimate conversation with Francisco Mora Catlett, Naima Mora, and Mahalia de Los Angeles Mora Perez about legacy as inheritance, burden, and gift. They talk about knowing Catlett not only as an icon, but as a mother and grandmother who cooked, argued, laughed, and loved.
It's free, and you'll need to register.
