Carrie Mae Weems has used staged photography, archival images, text and video to examine family, race, gender, history and institutional power. The Kitchen Table Series, made in 1990, stages a sequence of domestic scenes around one table, while later projects engage museums, slavery, scientific racism and public memory.
