March 10, 2024Czech photographer Libuše Jarcovjáková will visit First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston on Sunday, March 10, 2024, to speak about her life and work. First UU featured her photographs in the 2022 FotoFest Participating Spaces exhibition “Libuše Jarcovjáková: The Photographer as Dissident,” exploring Prague’s T-Club, one of two clubs where the LGBTQ+ community could gather in the 1980s.
Libuše Jarcovjáková (b. 1952) a Czech photographer and educator is the chair of the photography program at Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art at the West Bohemian University in Pilsen, Czech Republic. She is based in Prague, where she was born.
“I am not everything I want to be,” the documentary film about Libuše’s life and work had its world premiere at the Berlinale festival in mid-February. The film’s trailer will be included in Libuše’s talk.

“Wendel A. White: Difficult Histories” presents a selection from White’s Manifest (2009–present) and Red Summer (2011–2019) series.
Manifest presents in classic still life fashion individual objects found in collections, public and private, from African American history. Some, like White’s image of a stained-glass shard of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church, are connected to pivotal events.
White, in his montage series Red Summer, ties the past to the present using early twentieth-century news clippings and contemporary landscapes. Made at the sites where racial violence took place between 1917 and 1923, the series draws its title from civil rights activist James Weldon Johnson’s label for the summer of 1919, when white supremacist terrorism reached a fever pitch.
White’s Manifest and Red Summer series challenge viewers to excavate the difficult history of the United States.
