The Road to Carrington
A Carrie Mae Weems Project
May 7 – June 2

Created by Carrie Mae Weems, one of the world’s most influential contemporary artists, The Road To Carrington, was commissioned by The Carr Center.  

This new project is a multi-screen/panel video project that centers on the breadth of Terri Lyne Carrington’s work. 

It is not a traditional “documentary”, but rather a conceptual artwork based on the life of the extraordinary woman, musician, artist, activist, and teacher as told  through the lens of  Weems, the brilliant, award-winning photographer and multi-disciplinary artist

The Road to Carrington is part of the Female and Non-Binary Gaze section of Shifting The Narrative, Carrington’s groundbreaking multidisciplinary exploration of jazz without the lens of gender bias, developed in collaboration with the Carr Center and the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice.

Curated by Terri Lyne Carrington
Co-Curated by Tia Nichols
May 7th – June 2nd

The Female and Non-Binary Gaze Exhibition features the works of thirteen invited women and visual artists, photographers and filmmakers, April Anue Shipp, Cara Marie Young, Deadra Bryant, Jennifer White-Johnson, Nadia Alexis, Shanequa Gay, Asha Walidah, Carole Morisseau, Donna Jackson,  Mira Gandy, Naomi Tajonera, Tia Nichols and Karmala Sherwood.

The exhibition is part of the Female and Non-Binary Gaze section of Shifting The Narrative, Carrington’s groundbreaking multidisciplinary exploration of jazz without the lens of gender bias, developed in collaboration with the Carr Center and the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice.

In her curatorial statement Carrington writes, The Female and Non-Binary Gaze provides commentary on the current renaissance of Black feminist thought through artistic conversations between scholars, visual artists, filmmakers and photographers. Over a dozen visual artists display their “gaze” through themes of gender justice, racial justice and the realities brought forth by being both seen and unseen.”
