What if you could walk right into 80 years of Memphis history—straight through the lens of the people who lived it?
The Hooks Brothers Studio Collection is exactly that: more than 75,000 photographs offering a highly documented perspective of Memphis. Portraits. Proms. Weddings. Haircuts. Church hats. Perfect smiles. Generational pride. This archive is a mirror, a time capsule, and a love letter all at once.
Join Assistant Curator of Photography C. Rose Smith for a behind-the-scenes conversation about this incredible collection and the work being done to preserve it for future generations.
If you care about Memphis, photography, or the stories that shape who we are, you’ll want to be in the room.
Tickets are limited—save your seat.
