\Carrie Mae Weems
Carrie Mae Weems, *1953 in Portland (Oregon), USA,
lives and works in New York
Through image, text, film, video, performance, her many lectures, presentations, and culturally significant convenings with individuals across a multitude of disciplines, Carrie Mae Weems has created a complex body of work that centers on her overarching commitment to helping us better understand our present moment by examining our collective past.
Determined as ever to enter the picture – both literally and metaphorically – Weems has sustained an ongoing dialogue within contemporary discourse for over thirty-five years.
In 2019 in her first solo exhibition in five parts in Toronto, Canada, curator Sarah Robayo Sheridan writes of her work, “With a sensibility honed to the rhythms and workings of power, Weems points to a tidal pull of oppressions, inextricably linked, recurrent and indelible.”
