Hank Willis Thomas believes the past is the present. Now more than ever. As a conceptual artist, he focuses on race, identity, and popular culture. His work (sculptures, photography, installations) has been exhibited around the world, from New York to Paris to Hong Kong.

Today, since we can't stroll through museums, we offer a kind of guided listening experience. At our website (talkeasypod.com) you'll find a visual companion to this conversation with Hank. These are selected works- all of which undeniably speak to this moment of ours. At 35:30, a few words on what the future in media could look (and sound) like.
