WexCast: Carrie Mae Weems

On April 5, we were proud to host an enthralling talk by the extraordinary Carrie Mae Weems. Over her three-decade-long career, the contemporary art legend has explored how images shape and separate cultures through a wide variety of media. By popular demand, this WexCast shares the audio of her artist talk.
