Movement, Not Stasis: The Art and Journey of Kim Weston
How do we connect with what we can’t see? As you’ll hear in this episode of Learning Through Experience with Kim Weston, art can be a uniquely immersive way of learning and deepening understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Kim, an Afro-Indigenous photographer, educator and cultural steward, takes us on a journey where each photograph tells a story of heritage, community and spirit. As she says, “Our ancestors are with us; the people we loved in the past are still beside us, even though we can’t see them with the naked eye.” Tune in to discover how Kim’s evocative work is transforming spaces and touching lives, inviting each of us to engage, reflect and experience life through the lens of art. Learning Through Experience is produced through the Yale School of Management.

Weston Makes Belonging Visible at CAW
Kim Weston embodied the theme of her latest exhibition at its opening reception at Creative Arts Workshop Friday night.
With hugs and warm welcomes, Weston invited people to “Made Visible: Origins in Belonging,” an exhibition she's curated that runs through February and into the middle of March, that will include an artists talk on Feb. 17.
Young Photographers Focus On The Future
The blossoms on the tree in the background portend spring, but the photographer is interested in more than capturing a nice day. The two young women are rendered in crisp, black and white detail, enough perhaps to appreciate that they’re siblings. They are, in fact, twins. But the lens is focused enough on them that we’re allowed to look past their similarities to their differences. Some are choices, in clothing and hairstyle. Some are in subtle differences in their faces. Twins though they may be, they’re also individual humans, and the photographer lets us see all of it: the things that bring them together and the things that make them individually who they are.
