The Black
Homecoming exhibit is generously sponsored by Stock Yards Bank & Trust.
In
conjunction with the Black Homecoming: Kentucky Kinship in Photography
exhibit, the Filson proudly presents a special panel moderated by Zakia Holland
from the Play Cousins Collective. This insightful roundtable discussion will
explore the critical role of the Black family as the social foundation of the
Black experience. This event will foster an open dialogue and grow broader
understanding about the importance of family structures, intergenerational
bonds, and the ways in which they contribute to the Black community’s ongoing
journey and collective growth.
Panelists
for the evening include:
Mariel
Gardner – West End Women’s Collective
LaMont
Collins – Roots 101 Museum
Hannah
Drake – The (Un)Known Project
Miguel
Hampton, a local photographer who documents social justice activities in
Louisville and surrounding areas

Homecoming: Kentucky Kinship in Photography will be open for viewing from 5:00-5:55 p.m.,
followed by the panel discussion at 6:00 p.m. It will be open again following
