| Hank Willis Thomas on the Role of Art in Civic Life |
| |
| Perspective, identity, history, commodity, race — these are just a few of the issues conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas explores through his work. He’s the 2024 Aspen Institute Harman/Eisner Artist in Residence, and we were thrilled to host two of his artworks at this year’s Aspen Ideas Festival. We caught up with him about how art helps him make sense of the world, what lessons he’s learned from his mother — the prolific photographer Deborah Willis — and why it’s helpful to think of politicians as designers. |
