Originally aired 4/22/09
Host Zefrey Throwell speaks with artist Hank Willis Thomas, whose work explores notions of race, class, the body and commercialism, investigating how contemporary identities are constructed, defined and manipulated. This interview comes on the heels of Pitch Blackness, his intelligent and strikingly honest 2009 show at Jack Shainman Gallery. Listen along as they tackle such subjects as slick logos, Johnny Walker, Obama, textbooks, myths, legends and much more (33 minutes).
