Fairfield University Art Museum presents Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects, a photography and video exhibition focusing on “the humanity denied in recent killings of Black men, women, and children by police.” Through the work, Weems invites viewers to reflect on what has happened time and time again in the United States of America; “Weems directs our attention toward the repeated pattern of judicial inaction—the repeated denials and the repeated lack of acknowledgement.” The show, organized by the LSU Museum of Art, opens on September 18 and will run through December 18, in the Fairfield’s Walsh Gallery. Fairfield University Art Museum is located at 200 Barlow Rd., Fairfield, Connecticut. For more information and updated gallery hours, please visit fairfield.edu/museum.
