Carrie Mae Weems 'Mourning'

04:10

In Mourning, Carrie Mae Weems creates a contemplative moving-image work that reflects on grief, memory, and the enduring impact of racial injustice. Through measured pacing, poetic narration, and carefully composed imagery, the film invites viewers to consider mourning as both a deeply personal experience and a collective act of remembrance. Weems connects intimate moments of reflection with broader histories of loss, transforming the space of grief into one of witness, resilience, and ongoing reflection.

The film Mayflowers Long Forgotten is part of a larger project titled May Days Long Forgotten (2002–03) which includes a series of photographs. The title for the larger project comes from the last line of a poem that Carrie Mae Weems wrote for an earlier installation that she did called Ritual and Revolution (1998). In this film and its accompanying photographs, Weems captures a group of girls she met in her town of Syracuse, New York.

Carrie Mae Weems, The Baptism

Weems’s expansive practice overlaps with activism and includes a wide variety of collective projects and commissions. This includes The Baptism, a short film commissioned by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, which pairs images of nature, protest, and everyday life with a poem by Carl Hancock Rux, in tribute to the late activists John Lewis and C.T. Vivian. The film presents a collaborative project that puts forward an experimental eulogy, one that draws on imagery abstractly and metaphorically to talk about the Black body and Black life more holistically.

Goodman Gallery presented New-York based artist Naama Tsabar’s first solo exhibition in the UK and with the gallery from 12 October - 12 November 2021. The exhibition included three bodies of work – Transition, Barricade, and Works On Felt – which is a continuation of the artist’s critically acclaimed Kunsthaus Baselland exhibition in 2018. Tsabar in collaboration with musicians Fielded, Kristin Mueller, and Sarah Strauss wrote and performed a composition in and on the exhibition, activating the Transition, Barricade, and Works On Felt works. The performance connects the bodies of the performers, the works and the viewers. By stroking, pushing, drumming and strumming the felt, the work was activated, creating a sensuous performance that bridged the space between music and visual art – a consistent theme running through Tsabar’s practice.
