About

Carrie Mae Weems: The Hampton Project, published by Aperture, but contains a vast array of fascinating texts on the project, including essays on the lives of Samuel Chapman Armstrong and Frances B. Johnston, an interview with Weems, and most interestingly, a measured response from the director of the Hampton University Museum. What makes Carrie Mae Weems: The Hampton Project so compelling is the complex and varied perspectives on the role of race and education, begging the question of whether healing the wounds of slavery through “reparation” is actually possible.
