In addition to focusing on the artist's latest projects, Day explores Thomas's work, which critically examines everyday images that reinforce systems of inequality--from advertising to sports culture. This timely interview aligns with Thomas's major traveling retrospective.
"I think my work is very much my life. So it’s a product of my search, my quest for personhood. My quest for my own specific voice to be clear and to understand the world and make sense of it." - Hank Willis Thomas
