Robert C. May Photography Series: Sarah Hoskins, lecture

Exhibition: March 6 - April 11, 2010
Art Museum Gallery

Chicago-based photographer Sarah Hoskins will conclude this year's lecture series by speaking about her project The Homeplace. For nine years, she has documented the inhabitants and settings of historic African-American hamlets in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. Many of the settlements were founded by freed slaves in the decade after the Civil War and are now inhabited by the fifth generation of those families. Hoskins has been racing against time to preserve this important aspect of African-American history before it succumbs to development.
