Barbican Young Creatives : Carrie Mae Weems
I joined an intimate group of Barbican Young Creatives to co-produce short-film, (Re)Constructing History with London-based artist Sandi Hudson-Francis, in dialogue with themes explored in Carrie Mae Weems’ Reflections for Now exhibition at the Barbican Centre in the summer of 2023.
Featured below are stills from my contribution to the film, as well as images taken courtesy of the Barbican Centre at the Private View of the screening in June 2023.
