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. Hank Willis Thomas: All Things Being Equal… features approximately 100 works including photographs, sculptures, video installations, interactive two-dimensional and time-based works, public art projects and a monumental flag-based work addressing lives lost to gun violence in the United States in 2018. Join PAM curators and educators to experience the exhibition and make connections to your teaching practice.
