This exhibition explores her influential career, showcasing rarely seen works that intertwine personal and political narratives. From documenting the Civil Rights Movement to addressing the ongoing impact of Black Lives Matter, Weems’ art captures critical moments of racial and social justice. Each of the nine rooms offers a unique perspective on Weems’ evolution as an artist and activist, presenting a profound commentary on America’s socio-political landscape.
