The Barbican is hosting the first major UK exhibition on American multi-disciplinary artist Carrie Mae Weems. She’s known for investigating themes of identity, desire, power and social justice in work that also addresses representations of gender, race and class. This exhibition will feature photographs, films and installations from across three decades of her career, including ‘Kitchen Table Series’, which explores power in the domestic space; ‘Roaming’ and ‘Museums’, which look at the way architecture can express power; and ‘The Shape of Things’ on the history of violence in the US.
