Carrie Mae Weems: Remember to Dream at Hessel Museum of Art: Bard

Through December 1, 2024

Remember to Dream revisits the range and breadth of Carrie Mae Weems’s prolific career through seldom displayed and lesser-known works that demonstrate the evolution of her pioneering, politically engaged practice. Moving beyond iconic projects, Remember to Dream seeks to rebalance an understanding of Weems’s artistic development over the past 30 years while locating her work in the context of her own lived experiences and commitment to activism. Ranging from large-scale installations to serial bodies of photography, the works in the exhibition provide a through-line from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, tracing significant moments of racial reckoning in the United States through Weems’s own lens.
