Liquid Gold- Black Gold, the Golden Age of Whaling. Installation of the exhibition at The Greenleaf Gallery at Whittier College, 2012
As part of the series, "Liquid Gold-Black Gold, the Golden Age of Whaling”, this exhibition considered The Greenleaf Gallery’s adjacent hall of portraits, featuring the school’s former presidents and founders, as an extension of the show. Within Hoffman’s exhibition, along with her portraits of escaped slaves turned abolitionists, such as Frederick Douglass and Ellen Craft, the show also included a work by the College’s namesake, the poet and abolitionist, John Greenleaf Whittier.
