Join us for this special event co-sponsored by the #UNLOAD Foundation. Amy Herman, founder of The Art of Perception Ⓡ, will lead a brief workshop on identifying and understanding visual bias, followed by a panel discussion with community members.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects (Walsh Gallery). About the exhibition: In Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects, Weems focuses on the humanity denied in recent killings of black men, women, and children by police. She directs our attention to the constructed nature of racial identity—specifically, representations that associate black bodies with criminality. Our imaginings have real—often deadly—outcomes. Blocks of color obscure faces just as our assumptions around race obscure individual humanity. Through a formal language of blurred images, color blocks, stated facts, and meditative narration, Weems directs our attention toward the repeated pattern of judicial inaction—the repeated denials and the repeated lack of acknowledgement.

This program, presented by Park Ranger Amanda, will examine the evolving role of women in the arts, including the lives of the three generations of women that called Weir Farm home. These extraordinary women were scholars, humanitarians, homemakers, writers, historians, community organizers, and preservationists as well as artists. This educated, independent, and passionate group of women made a lasting impact on their community for over 135 years and ensured the preservation of Weir Farm’s legacy.
Weir Farm NHP celebrates and honors the effort, creativity and vision of all women.
