Hattie Mae Lesley Resident Artist Showcase

Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

A montage of poetic and haunting moments examining the trials and triumphs Black mothers experience as their children come of age in a society plagued by racism and inequality. We meet the Mother, examining the dangerous world out of her control.  Anxiety builds in her mind and heart as her “beautiful brown boy” approaches manhood and the realities of modern life as a Black person in America.
