"This has got to be made and I am going to make it." - Carrie Mae Weems
Those are the words that stood out to me the most, being creative, having an idea and going for it knowing that you are the only one that is capable of making something as great as what it is that you have imagined in your head. Carrie Mae Weems lectured about her work and the things that made her who she is today, she also spoke about Stop the Violence (StV). StV is something that she created in her hometown, she began by posting signs and worked her way up to billboards and ads. At the end of her lecture she showed a video, if I had to decipher the message, it would be something like... It had to do with a young person writing at a desk and the creative process flowing through their mind is what the scenes were in the video.
