Curated by Sarah Hermanson Meister

The Heart of the Matter is the first retrospective of influential American artist Carrie Mae Weems (1953) in Belgium. Through her incisive photographic works and video installations she explores themes of race, gender, power and memory.
The exhibition comprises more than 100 photographs and videos, including landmark works such as Museums (2006) and Kitchen Table Series (1990). Especially for this exhibition, Weems created the series Preach (2024), which points to the importance of faith both personally and societally. In this series, the art and architecture of spirituality emerge as powerful forms of resistance.
