4:00PM  Artist Talk | Carving Out Time; LaToya M. Hobbs in Conversation with Elizabeth Rudy
Presented by the Association of Print Scholars​​​

LaToya M. Hobbs is a Baltimore-based artist, educator, and a founding member of the Black Women of Print collective, whose mixed media works explore the “matrix as art object.” The talk explores Hobbs’s printmaking practice alongside themes of labor, identity, and the translation of intimacy on a grand scale.

Elizabeth Rudy, Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints in the Division of European and American Art at Harvard Art Museums, is the editor of the upcoming publication LaToya M. Hobbs: Carving Out Time (2025) and the curator of LaToya M. Hobbs: It’s Time (Harvard Art Museums, 2024).
