Discover the exhibition
C.M. Weems, a multidisciplinary artist, is mainly known for the photographic work she has been developing for nearly forty years. This exhibition reviews chronologically all of her work and aims to underline the way in which Weems approaches photography as ahead of her time and always projects her images into the future with a tireless sense of hope.
From her first photographs, focused on family and friends, she gradually develops a broader vision that questions history and stereotypes while questioning those who wield power over those who cannot defend themselves. Weems’ works speak of violence that is exerted deliberately, but at the same time leaves room for scenes of intimacy and love.
Exhibition co-organizez with Fotocolectania, where other projects by the artist are simultaneously exhibited.
