"Any form of human injustice moves me deeply... the battle against all form of oppression keeps me focused."
Carrie Mae Weems
"In The Hampton Project, Carrie Mae Weems knits her concerns about individual identity, class, assimilation, education and the legacy of slavery into a series of photographic banners that force viewers to reassess their own moral and ethical boundaries, as well as the political and socioeconomic realities of twentieth-century America.
Weem's Hampton Project is shaped in part as a response to vintage photographs of the historically Black Hampton Institute (Hampton, Virginia) and period images of African American and Native Americans, as well as to Frances Benjamin Johnston's celebrated Hampton Album of 1900."
Avec des textes de L. SHEARER, V. PATTERSON, F. RUDOLPH, C. W. GLENN, D. WILLIS-KENNEDY et J. ZEIDLER
