Lincoln Center Presents: Contested Sites of Memory- A Performance With Artist Carrie Mae Weems
Over the course of a four decade career, American artist Carrie Mae Weems's work has consistently given voice to people whose stories would have otherwise been silenced or ignored. Celebrated for her incisive photography, which resides in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art, Weems is also a renowned maker of installation video and performance art. Her newest interdisciplinary creation, Contested Sites of Memory, features live music, spoken word performance, and screenings of new and extant video art. Contested Sites is produced in collaboration with Shore Art Advisory and Lincoln Center and is constructed in partnership with a remarkable collective of artists that includes trombonist, composer, and musical director Craig Harris, Carl Hancock Rux, Nona Hendryx, Esther Armah, and Jawwaad Taylor. Don't miss the premiere of this two-night-only performance work, presented at Alice Tully Hall.
