Hank Willis Thomas is one of the most consequential artists of
this moment. Clear and incisive, his work is exhilarating to
stand in front of and proves, time and again, that he has
accessed his better angels. "Throughout his career, Hank Willis
Thomas has addressed the visual systems that perpetuate
inequality and bias in bold, skillfully crafted works. Through
photographs, sculpture, video, and collaborative public art
projects, he invites us to consider the role of popular culture
in instituting discrimination and how art can raise critical
awareness in the ongoing struggle for social justice and civil
rights," reads the bio from his 2019 retrospective at the
Portland Art Museum. Hank co-founded For Freedoms and the Wide
Awakes, pioneering a new platform in collaborative creative
engagement and activism. His work is included in numerous public
