Carrie Mae Weems at Brooklyn Museum

One of my favorite museums in the city is the Brooklyn Museum. Recently I discovered the museum started posting their lectures and artist talks online. It's a great resource and I was so happy to see Carrie Mae Weems' artist talk. I've heard Weems speak before in Syracuse and her wisdom, honesty, and eloquent language is always eye opening.



Carrie Mae Weems is in an exhibition in the Brooklyn Museum through April 5, 2009.
