Hi, everyone! I did a bit of poking around and I stumbled across an exhibit that sounds fascinating. It's at Stanford (I know that's a bit far...sorry!) and shows pieces by a local, contemporary artist, Carrie Mae Weems. She is a photographer and a filmmaker who focuses on her experience as a black woman and how she's affected by her identity. On October 27th, in the exhibit, there's a showing of her film "Coming Up for Air" from 12:00-1:00 as well as a docent tour at 2:00. I think it could be super interesting to visit the exhibit, both from an artistic perspective and a social one. Plus, the majority of her work is photography, which we don't have a ton of in the Asian Art Museum so it might be nice to explore the medium.
If you want to check it out, here's the link to the exhibition page: http://museum.stanford.edu/news_room/weems.html
See y'all on Thursday!
