""I really, truly, and cheesily love the experience of being amazed at what other people can see and the insights that they can bring that other people in the room would never in a million years have thought about,""
""This is an historic moment for the Hutchins Center and indeed for Harvard as a whole,""
""As the only art space at a major university devoted exclusively to exhibiting and exploring African, African American, and Afro-Latin American art, the Alain Locke Gallery now has at its helm an art historian whose work reflects the breadth and depth of this vibrant field of study. Widely respected for the range and originality of her critical scholarship, Cécile Fromont will bring a rigorous, cosmopolitan intelligence to her leader"
Cécile Fromont studies visual, material, and religious cultures of Africa, Latin America, and Europe in the early modern period. She joined the Department of History of Art and Architecture in 2024 and will begin teaching after a year of research leave. She values classroom environments where students examine objects together and discover unexpected perspectives. She serves as the inaugural faculty director of the Alain Locke Gallery of African & African American Art at the Hutchins Center. The gallery is dedicated to exhibiting and exploring African, African American, and Afro‑Latin American art and will be guided by her rigorous, cosmopolitan scholarship.
