James Joyce was a famous Irish author and poet. He is remembered as one of the most influential writers in the 20th century. He wrote in the modernist style and experimented with the English language.
His most famous book, Ulysses, is “considered a landmark work of literary modernism.”
“This exhibition marks the 100th anniversary of the book’s publication and investigates the important and largely unacknowledged role of women in realization of his famed masterpiece.”

Frida Kahlo was a self-taught artist and painter living in the early 20th century.
She is one of the most famous modern Mexican artists.
Her life and many struggles continue to inspire women, Latinos, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people.
HRC has one of Kahlo’s best-known self-portraits.

Made in 1827 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. 12 years before the photograph was invented!
“It is the earliest photograph produced with the aid of the camera obscura known to survive today.”
“He tried an array of chemicals, materials, and techniques to advance the process he ultimately called héliographie, or ‘sun writing.'”
“He inserted the plate into a camera obscura and positioned it near a window in his second-story workroom. After several days of exposure to sunlight, the plate yielded an impression of the courtyard, outbuildings, and trees outside.”
Niépce called these ghostly pictures “points de vue.”

And, if you need a reminder (like I did) of what a camera obscura is, check out this simple explanation.

“In Mainz, Germany, in the mid-1450s, Johann Gutenberg and his partner Johann Fust published more than 150 large-format copies of the Bible in Latin.”
The Gutenberg Bible was the first book printed with a printing press to mass-produce books.
The printing press “helped change how information traveled in Europe and, later, the world.”
HRC has one of only twenty surviving copies in the world!
You can read more about it and browse the digitized pages of this nearly 600-year old book.
