Abstract
Abstract:
Jessica Lynne conducted an interview with photographer Letitia Huckaby, a Fort Worth, Texas–based artist and cofounder of Kinfolk House, a collaborative project space in Fort Worth. In 2023, Huckaby was commissioned by Johnica Rivers and Michelle Lanier of the Harriet Jacobs Project to create a photographic series that resulted in the exhibition Memorable Proof. This exhibition was installed in the historic Chowan County Courthouse in Edenton, North Carolina, where Harriet Jacobs was born. In the interview, Huckaby discusses her relationship to the medium of photography through her formal studies at the Art Institute of Boston (now the art school of Lesley University) and the University of North Texas. She also remarks upon her personal, spiritual, and aesthetic relationship to Black southern landscapes such as Greenwood, Mississippi, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the spiritual valences of her artistic practice.
期刊介绍:
In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
