About
Dawoud Bey and Carrie Mae Weems met in Harlem in 1976 when both were twenty-three years old. For more than 45 years, the two photographers have maintained a friendship and artistic dialogue that continues to this day, challenging and inspiring the other. Each addresses race, class, representation, and systems of power through their unique lenses, creating photographic series grounded in the history and everyday realities of Black Americans while also speaking to the broader human condition. This exhibition brings their work together for the first time.
This exhibition is presented in English and Spanish. Esta exhibición se presenta en inglés y en español.
