Artists in conversation

Carrie Mae Weems
American · b. 1953

Weems similarly merges fine art with domestic and everyday objects to explore African American memory, history, and commemoration, often embedding text and imagery into household items and textiles to create emotionally resonant conceptual works.

Kara Walker
American · b. 1969

Walker employs conceptual and mixed media approaches to interrogate African American history and collective memory, using printed and applied imagery on unconventional surfaces that blur the boundary between fine art and decorative or domestic formats.

Glenn Ligon
American · b. 1960

Ligon creates conceptually driven works that apply text and printed imagery onto fabric and domestic surfaces, exploring African American identity and historical commemoration in ways that echo Marshall's fusion of fine art with everyday functional objects.
