> DESCRIPTION

Rated by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of the top exhibitions to see in the Bay Area in 2012!

Question Bridge: Black Males is an innovative video installation created by artists Hank Willis Thomas and Chris Johnson in collaboration with Bayeté Ross Smith and Kamal Sinclair after traveling around the country interviewing 150 Black men in eleven cities. They created 1,500 videos of conversations with men representing a range of geographic, generational, economic, and educational levels. They then wove the conversations together to simulate a stream-of-consciousness dialogue, allowing important themes and issues to emerge, including family, love, interracial relationships, community, education, violence, and the past, present, and future of Black men in American society.

The project will be on view simultaneously at OMCA, the Brooklyn Museum, the Castain Art Center in Atlanta. and Salt Lake City Arts Center.
