Work by Carrie Mae Weems, University Artist in Residence, was mentioned in the Papercitymag.com story “Dallas Billboards Become Canvases for an Influential Contemporary Artist’s New Campaign.” Weems latest work, Resist Covid/Take 6!, reflects on how many Black communities have been greatly impacted by COVID 19. “We have indisputable evidence that people of color have been disproportionately impacted. The death toll in these communities is staggering. This fact affords the nation an unprecedented opportunity to address the impact of social and economic inequality in real time. Denial does not solve a problem,” says Weems
