The Catlett Legacy: A Conversation Across Generations
Elizabeth Catlett's son, granddaughter and grandson sit down for an intimate family conversation on Saturday, March 6, at 1 p.m. at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. It's free, with registration.
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 are worthy of beauty, monument and witness.
She Made Us brings together Francisco Mora Catlett, Naima Mora and Mahalia de Los Angeles Mora Perez to talk about what it means to grow up in the presence of that vision and carry a name that belongs to history and to you. Legacy comes up as inheritance, burden and gift, and you'll hear about Catlett as a mother and grandmother who cooked, argued, laughed and loved, not just as an icon.
The program runs from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is free, and registration is required.
