“Join us for the opening of My Own Backyard, a powerful photographic exhibition by renowned artist Earlie Hudnall Jr., presented as we approach Black History Month. Spanning more than five decades—from the 1970s to the present—this body of work documents the beauty, dignity, and everyday life of Southern Black communities.

Guided by the wisdom of legendary artist and educator John Biggers, Hudnall’s photographs are rooted in lived experience and deep community connection. From his birthplace in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to Houston’s historic Third Ward, his images form a rich visual record of culture, place, and generational memory.

Opening Reception: Friday, January 30
5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Artspace, 708 Texas St., Shreveport, LA

Exhibition on view: January 30 – March 13, 2026
Artist Talk: Friday, February 27 | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

This exhibition is free and open to the public. All are welcome”
