Description
Sharpen Your Aperture…
Welcome back to “On Creativity” for our third season! In times of shared societal woe, we turn to art and culture for deeper understanding. As today's guest, modern art icon and long time SCAD friend, Carrie Mae Weems, shares in the episode, "the arts really do allow us to get closest to our humanity." Winner of a 2013 MacArthur Foundation fellowship—colloquially known as a "genius grant"—as well as an "Anonymous is a Woman" award, Weems's works and words are transformative. Join Paula Wallace as they discuss Weems's most recent public art initiative — “Resist COVID/Take 6!” — which sheds light on the realities of the Coronavirus, and spreads awareness directly to minority communities who are disproportionately affected by the pandemic. SCAD is honored to be bringing this essential initiative to our communities in Atlanta and Savannah this summer.
