The permanent collection exhibition at the Sheldon Museum of Art, located on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, was a highlight of my recent trip to the region. The artists within their permanent collection exhibition are varied and show the range and breadth of their collecting practices over the last 125 years of existence Sheldon Art Association.

Carrie Mae Weems, Three Decades of Photography and Video (First Center for the Visual Arts)

Carrie Mae Weems: Three Decades of Photography and Video is a must-read retrospective accompanying the national tour of the exhibition with the same title. Featuring some of Weems’s most important art works, the book has essays by leading scholars, explores Weems’s interest in subject matter such as folklore, spoken and written word, and black beauty. In her artistic style, Weems is committed to a variety of issues of social justice. Her early career focused on African-American women and families and has evolved to the stories from the African diaspora, from the legacy of slavery to stereotypes and continues to evolve to include global struggles for equality and justice.
