Dawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems: In Dialogue
GETTY CENTER
West Pavilion, Lower Level
This is a past event
Dawoud Bey and Carrie Mae Weems have been friends and colleagues for more than 40 years. Each addresses race, class, representation, and systems of power in their work, creating photographic series grounded in Black history and realities that speak to the human condition. This exhibition sheds light on their unique trajectories and modes of presentation, and their shared consciousness and principles.
Organized by the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
