Photographers Lecture Series 2010

Moderated by Phillip S. Block

Carrie Mae Weems uses colloquial forms—jokes, songs, rebukes—in photographic series that scrutinize subjectivity and expose pernicious stereotypes, using traditional narrative forms: social documentary, tableaux, self-portrait, and oral history. She has been awarded the Anonymous Was a Woman grant; the Skowhegan Medal for Photography; the Rome Prize Fellowship; the Pollack Krasner Foundation Grant in Photography, and more. Her work has appeared in major exhibitions at Savannah College of Art and Design; W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research, Harvard University; Williams College Museum of Art, Williamstown; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, among others.
