Legendary photographers at SAM
Dawoud Bey and Carrie Mae Weems are two of the most important contemporary photographers working today. Dawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems: In Dialogue (Nov. 17 - Jan. 22, 2023) at the Seattle Art Museum will feature more than a hundred photographs from their careers, tracing the artists’ work from the 1970s all the way up to now and showcasing a breadth of topics and subjects, such as: women’s self-perception and domesticity; the Underground Railroad and Weems’ reenactments of 20th-century tragedies; and the impact of architecture. What connects their work, besides a friendship and a medium, is a shared timeframe and understanding of the power of photography as a way to explore — and celebrate — the experiences of Black people. - MVS https://www.seattleartmuseum.org/Exhibitions/Details?EventId=85173
