Question Bridge: Black Males
Gallery at Chastain
135 W. Wieuca Road, NW
Atlanta, GA 30342
Internationally acclaimed artists Hank Willis Thomas, Chris Johnson, and Bayate Ross Smith present Question Bridge: Black Males, a transmedia art project that seeks to represent and redefine black male identity in America. Through video meditated question and answer exchange, diverse members of these demographic groups bridge economic, political, geographic, and generational divisions. This exhibition will be represented with video and photography by artists including Hank Willis Thomas, Chris Johnson, Bayate Ross Smith, and Kambui Olujimi. Question Bridge is presented by City Gallery at Chastain. This series of questions asked by black males of varying ages opens the trailer for Question Bridge: Black Males, a "transmedia art project that seeks to represent and redefine Black male identity in America." Directed by artists Chris Johnson and Hank Willis Thomas, in collaboration with Bayeté Ross Smith and Atlanta-based artist and producer Kamal Sinclair, Question Bridge was filmed across America, including Oakland, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Birmingham, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Philadelphia, over the last four years. Beginning Jan. 27, the Chastain Arts Center will host a video installation to exhibit the work.
