Synopsis:

Carrie Mae Weems brings together five groups of work by this American photographer: the Sea Islands Series, the Africa Series, From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried, Who What When Where, and Ritual & Revolution. These series highlight the themes that have dominated Weems's work over the course of her twenty-year career: identity, race, gender, class, the legacy of slavery, and the African diaspora. Among the most accomplished and powerful statements of
her career, these works challenge us all to rethink our culture and to question the extent of art's impact on society. 51 color illustrations, 14 duotones, 16 black-and-white illustrations.
