Who Taught You To Love?

Who Taught You To Love?, Hank Willis Thomas x For Freedoms.

 

For American conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas, art is a means to visualise a message. His expansive practice investigates the intersections of race, identity, collective consciousness and consumerism.

“Love is the most effective educational tool of all.”

Who Taught You To Love? is a hand-pulled, 9-layer screenprint on Somerset Tub Sized 600gsm paper — individually signed, dated and numbered.
