Title:
Carrie Mae Weems in "Compassion" - Season 5 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" | Art21
Description:

Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Carrie Mae Weems, from the "Compassion" episode in Season 5 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Compassion" premiered in October 2009 on PBS.

“Narrative and storytelling is in the blood,” declares Carrie Mae Weems. Through a mixture of archival personal photos and the artist’s first major photo-documentary series, Family Pictures and Stories, Weems takes the viewer on a personal journey through her childhood in the 1950s to a broader examination of “the history of black subjects in photography” in the series From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried.

Carrie Mae Weems was born in Portland, Oregon, in 1953.Learn more about the artist at: https://art21.org/artist/Carrie-Mae-Weems
