C/O Berlin presents the first comprehensive retrospective of Carrie Mae Weems (b. 1953, USA) in Berlin. Featuring more than one hundred photographs and videos spanning more than four decades, the exhibition offers an in-depth insight into the work of one of the most influential contemporary artists. Weems links personal experiences with social and historical issues, highlighting stories, people, and places that are frequently left out in historical narratives. Using her own biography as a starting point, Weems has developed an oeuvre that explores issues of race, gender, power, and memory. Family, domestic spaces, museums, monuments, and Black communities of faith become sites where history, identity, and belonging are negotiated. Employing documentary, staged, and conceptual strategies, she creates a visual language that is equally poetic and political, inviting viewers to continually reassess their own concepts of history, identity, and representation.
A project by Gallerie d’Italia, museum of Intesa Sanpaolo, in collaboration with Aperture, adapted and presented by C/O Berlin
