Carrie Mae Weems: Kitchen Table Series

This publication is dedicated solely to Carrie Mae Weems's seminal body of work, the Kitchen Table Series. Comprising 20 photographs and 14 text panels, the series narrates the life of a woman—portrayed by Weems herself—within the intimate setting of her kitchen. Through staged scenes, the work explores themes of domesticity, identity, family dynamics, and the complexities of Black womanhood. The kitchen, traditionally viewed as a female space, is reimagined as a stage where life's profound moments unfold, challenging conventional narratives and highlighting the strength and beauty of Black women.
