Caption : The Kitchen Tables Series by Carrie Mae Weems is a landmark work of art for our generation. At the heart of the series is a question: how do we find our own power? It is a suite of works, twenty images with 14 text panels that do seem to be about relationships, women with lovers, mothers, and daughters. Yet the animating force is about the quest for sovereignty. I adore Carrie Mae Weems. It’s such an honor to have written about her work over the years. It’s such a joy to have her in my life as a sister and friend. Link in bio.Likes : 1222

Caption : What a thrill to unveil the cover of a book that took over a decade to have the courage to write. I wrote the book to expose the facts: there was a time when Americans reckoned with and saw the fictions—the lies—used to legitimate the nation’s regime of racial hierarchy and learned to disregard them. The true significance of this hidden history and its full legacy has gone unseen—until now. The surprising catalyst occurred in the nineteenth century when the Caucasian War—the fight for independence in the Caucasus that coincided with the end of the US Civil War—revealed the instability of the entire regime of racial domination. Images of the Caucasus region and peoples captivated the American public but also showed that the place from which we derive “Caucasian” for whiteness was not white at all. Cultural and political figures ranging from P. T. Barnum to Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois to Woodrow Wilson recognized such fictions and more, exploiting, unmasking, critiquing, or burying them. To acknowledge the falsehood at the core of racial order proved unthinkable, especially as Jim Crow and segregation took hold. Sight became a form of racial sculpture, vision a knife excising what no longer served the stability of racial hierarchy. That stability was shaped, crucially, by what was left out, what we have been conditioned not to see. The Unseen Truth shows how visual tactics have long secured our regime of racial hierarchy in spite of its false foundations—and offers a way to begin to dismantle it. I’m so grateful to all who willed this book out of me, and who were with me on the journey! A few dear friends, years ago, thought this book would put me in the witness protection program. It was understandable. It started with research on the Caucasian War and once bore that title. I’m so grateful for their belief in me to write the book that this has become. Of course, you know who is on the cover: a work by the divine Carrie Mae Weems, designed by Pacific. Here’s to the fire of truth. Here’s to the beauty of surrender. Onward with total joy.

Caption : I was thinking of when I first met Kamala Harris, we had landed in a photo shoot for Oprah’s Power List. (I was curating at MoMA and had just been put up for a position in Washington). Getting 20 women camera ready meant hours to talk while getting done up. I listened to hear, watched her, and learned from her. And I loved her converse (not pictured in this shot. Tyler Mitchell got that right years later). What I saw that first day has made me smile for years as she had lead us. I’m so inspired. #Harris2024Likes : 1150

Caption : How could we start the Vision & Justice Book Series, discussed in the New York Times, without a tribute to the work of beloved, landmark critic and curator, Maurice Berger? The look on Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats face says it all. In the arts, we have long relied on his words and vision. I was torn apart when he died of covid in 2020 very early on. His was the voice we needed. At the time, sequestered in our homes, the importance of seeing could not have been more clear. We were transfixed by images of racial injustice and inequity. The main organ for public discussions about these images for decades seemed gone. In the wake of Maurice’s passing has emerged new energy to carry his torch. Deb Willis, Leigh Raiford and I are thrilled to be co-publishing the collection of his Race Stories in the New York Times with Aperture in October 2024. It will be the first volume in the Vision & Justice Book Series, followed by books on the work of Coreen Simpson and Doug Harris. Thank you to the Aperture team and our stunning group of advisors. We miss you, Maurice, and love you so. Link to pre-order the book is on Aperture’s site. Link in bioLikes : 836

My first time at Aspen let me meet the great Congressman John Lewis. My book The Rise had just been published and we had a book signings together, side my side. I’ll never forgot how he spent that time—trying to figure out if we, Lewis’s, could be related. He was so sweet. I remember that often, as I think of how we are all in lineage with him, and so deeply in his debt as we all work to shine a light for others.

Caption : The New York Times announced Coreen Simpson’s forthcoming monograph with our new Vision & Justice publishing imprint and she served in her portrait. That’s her. As Coreen Simpson said, she deserves a book with gravitas on her work. She has for decades. The aim of the Vision and Justice Book Series is to correct injustices like these. To change the narrative about who counts and who belongs, you need to protect the libraries from erasures. From omissions. There is good reason for why they are such a battleground today. The aim of Vision and Justice Book Series, in partnership with Aperture Foundation, is to center the unheralded, yet landmark work of Black artists, scholars, and writers whose work has been central to understanding the role of images in generating equity and justice in America. Deborah Willis, Leigh Raiford, and I are excited to be launching the Vision and Justice Book Series with an extraordinary advisory team and editors at Aperture. The V&J series commences with three titles that celebrate a vanguard of image-makers and artistic legacies: Race Stories: Essays on the Power of Images, the first posthumous collection of writings by cultural historian, curator, and writer Maurice Berger (1956–2020); and two monographs that salute the unheralded, yet foundational work of Doug Harris and Coreen Simpson.

![Sarah Lewis - 3 Likes - One of the gifts of my family is that I was taught a real reverence for the ancestors, and for love as a force—the main force for creating life. To think, we are here because of the love: between two people or the love that they found amidst it all inspires me so.
So happy to be back on the island of my ancestors in Montserrat, a tiny, tiny island in the Caribbean , to touch the ground where they walked as I finish a project that has taken over a decade of my life. I love making this time to thank them for the love that made me, and for those acts of love that make us all.
James Baldwin let us know:
“This is why one must say Yes to life and embrace it whenever it is found …
[…]
For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have.
The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.”

Caption : Congratulations to my dear Andrea Achi, the mastermind curator behind a truly historic exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum about the true role of Africa as an artistic, economic, and cultural force in the ancient world. Her stunning feat—the Africa and Byzantium exhibition—shows what is possible when we commit to telling the full story of who we are and who we have been. Sweet bonus: I’ve never been in a show of ancient art that focused as much on love—what it takes, what makes it possible. In the end, what matters is the depth of love: how you show it, if you trust it, and what you do to let it bloom all around. It’s the only force that can trespass worlds, after all, and it traveled across centuries that day at the Met. Andrea, you have done it, with vision, joy, humility, and tenacity. 🤍🤍 Congratulations again! “Bright as the sun” indeed. (Last slide is just because what an embrace) Thank you to the four graces who made this such an epic day! @melissahaizlip_ and @sharmacklLikes : 3

Caption : Congratulations to my dear Andrea Achi, the mastermind curator behind a truly historic exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum about the true role of Africa as an artistic, economic, and cultural force in the ancient world. Her stunning feat—the Africa and Byzantium exhibition—shows what is possible when we commit to telling the full story of who we are and who we have been. Sweet bonus: I’ve never been in a show of ancient art that focused as much on love—what it takes, what makes it possible. In the end, what matters is the depth of love: how you show it, if you trust it, and what you do to let it bloom all around. It’s the only force that can trespass worlds, after all, and it traveled across centuries that day at the Met.

Caption : @therealswizzz and @aliciakeys made history last night at the Brooklyn Museum with their extraordinary DEAN art collection exhibition GIANTS of the Giant artists among us and before us. A night to float and celebrate joy and possibilities in this life as we must each and every day! So…No image carousel is going to give you a sense of how EPIC it is—it is beyond that—so please go to the Brooklyn Museum and have some of the best hours of your life. You will leave with your heart open, mind expanded, and clear of what Kasseem always says, “The sky is not the limit—it’s just the view.” And to my dear @annepasternak and @drkimgant, for your leadership and vision, congratulations!! Epic all the way around. #giantsbkmLikes : 3

Caption : Flora. This is of the images I’ll teach from today in my Harvard Vision & Justice class, a silhouette of an enslaved woman named Flora. It accompanied the handwritten sale bill. She was sold for 25 pounds sterling on Dec. 13, 1796 to A. Benjamin of Stratford, Connecticut, from M. Dwight of New Haven. The image is a silhouette, that 18th and 19th century practice that seemed to democratize the portrait. We can see the process of making-the sharp lines of the scissor cutting through the paper accenting her hair and profile. The image has been so critical for understanding who counts and who belongs in the United States, and how central for histories of liberation. We’ll honor you today in class, Flora. Over 200 years later, our joy in living and the attention we pay to your life will be a tribute. This image was at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in 2018-19 in the show, “Black Out: Silhouettes Then and Now,” curated by Asma Naeem, the Portrait Gallery’s curator of prints, drawings, and media arts.

Caption : Turning heat into light—transforming something that burns to something that can illuminate for others—that’s central to the creative act and on such masterful display with dear @ava ‘s Origin that it is just required viewing for all. What a thing to finish a book during this season. I don’t fully recognize that person I was a few months ago who was completing it. I’m so grateful for growth. I’m so grateful to be seen so fully through a film like @originmovie I’m so filled with joy for all that this work will do in the world. Thank you as always, amazing @ava. Thank you to these greats @niecynash1, Aunjanue Ellis Taylor. In this picture with @isabelwilkerson we were wearing the same dress in different colors. We loved it. And we love her through the gift she, Ava, and the extraordinary team at @arraynow have given us all.Likes : 3
