We are proud to have published 'Carrie Mae Weems: A Great Turn in the Possible,' published by D.A.P. & @mapfrefcultura⁠ ⁠ One of the most influential American artists working today, Weems has investigated narratives around family, race, gender, sexism, class and the consequences of power for more than 40 years. Her complex oeuvre—always ahead of its time, and profoundly formative for younger generations of artists—has employed photography (for which she is best known), fabric, text, audio, digital images, installation and video. Writing in the @nytimes Holland Cotter succinctly described Weems as “a superb image maker and a moral force, focused and irrepressible.”⁠ ⁠ Featured images are "You Became a Whisper, a Symbol of a Mighty Voyage & by the Sweat of Your Brow You Laboured for Self, Family & Other" and "Some Said You Were the Spitting Image of Evil" from Weems' 'From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried' series (1995-96)⁠ ⁠ ⁠Preface by Iris Dressler, Elvira Dyangani Ose. Text by LaCharles Ward, Fred Moten. Chronology and glossary by Raul Muñoz.⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ @carriemaeweems #carriemaeweems #carriemaeweemsgreatturninthepossible #greatturninthepossible #carriemaeweemsretrospective @dressleriris @edyanganiose @lacharles88 #frederickmoten #raulmunoz ⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIjGcrJTVT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
