Announcing the next guest in the Photography Department's virtual pop up lectures series: Carrie Mae Weems.
|

Considered one of the most influential contemporary American artists, Carrie Mae Weems is a photographer, filmmaker, installation artist and writer. Her work explores themes of family relationships, cultural identities, political systems and power. Weems is the recipient of many awards—both internationally and within the United States. In 2013, she received the MacArthur Genius grant and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Her other awards include: BET Honors Visual Artist Award, the Lucie Award for Fine Art Photography, and the ICP Spotlight Award, among others. Her work is represented in both private and public collections around the globe, and she is represented by Jack Shainman Gallery in New York.
The School of Art community is invited to attend these online 30-minute events in which Gregory Crewdson, Director of Graduate Studies in Photography, asks each guest a list of simple questions about artistic practice, and the anticipation of an end to the pandemic crisis.
