Carrie Mae Weems is one of the leading artists working in the United States today. She is best known for her thoughtful and provocative meditations on race and the African-American experience.  Her photographs and installations have dealt with such subjects as the significance of skin color within African-American society, the Gullah people of South Carolina, and the architecture and landscapes of the Slave Coast of Africa.  In this lecture she will discuss her recent work.
