Watch artist @latoyahobbs’ process as she recreates the work of one of the most defining artists of the 20th century, Elizabeth Catlett. Through her bold prints and sculptures, Catlett created art in service to her people, shining a light on injustice and celebrating the strength of her heritage. The sculpture that inspired this print was deeply personal—it’s a portrait of @naimamora, one of Catlett’s twin granddaughters, taken during a summer visit to her home in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

You can see this woodblock print, along with the original sculpture that inspired it, at our new exhibition, “Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist,” in our East Building.
