Artist-in-Residence Carrie Mae Weems’ Project to Resist COVID

Internationally-recognized artist and Syracuse University scholar in residence Carrie Mae Weems’s lastest work RESIST COVID TAKE 6! was featured in Artnet.com for the article “Artist Carrie Mae Weems Is Planning an Ambitious Campaign to Alert the World About How the Coronavirus Has Hurt Communities of Color.”

From the article…”Photographer, filmmaker, and installation artist Carrie Mae Weems is launching a new initiative to draw attention to how the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately hurts African American, Latino, and Native American communities.

Working with Syracuse University, where she is an artist-in-residence, Weems will unveil a series of billboards, flyers, buttons, and other public objects that promote public health measures throughout the western New York city over the next six months. ”
