And Carrie Mae Weems has proven this with over 50 exhibitions of photographs, films, and videos.
Her new show 'Slow Fade to Black' runs from July 28 to August 21.
From the announcement:
For this exhibition, Weems takes a critical look at historical drama staging, presenting several interlocking narrative works that play across the historical divide. The project explores the slippery slope of memory as it considers the great debates of the 1960s amongst the likes of Marlon Brando, James Baldwin and William F. Buckley, and the extraordinary female performers, from Josephine Baker to Dorothy Dandridge and Abbey Lincoln whose voices both entertained us and provided the backdrop to our very lives.
Ms Weems has a long association with the WCMA including The Hampton Project in 2000 and Posing Beauty in African American Culture in 2010
