Did You Know?

Carrie Mae Weems was a dancer before she became a photographer.

Description

In the early 1990s, African American artist Carrie Mae Weems “decided that it was time to go home, back to Africa. There was something that I needed to know about the nature of myself.” She made many photographs of buildings, landscapes, and historic sites, one of which is in the museum’s collection. She took only a few portraits; those became the Gems and Jewels of Africa.
