Join us on November 15th LIVE from NYC for tour #150. Together, we explore urgent work by Hank Willis Thomas.
Hank (he/him) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY as a conceptual artist working primarily with themes related to perspective, identity, commodity, media, and popular culture. His work has been exhibited throughout the United States and abroad including the International Center of Photography, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Musée du quai Branly, Hong Kong Arts Centre and the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art.
In this tour, we embark on some close looking.
Together, we ask: What do you see?
👋 Oh, Hi. We are Considering.Art™ - a new LIVE arts and cultural engagement network as unique as you are. We believe in the power of art and community to build a more equitable, inclusive, and just future. We are excited to welcome you into our community as we join each other on this exciting journey.
Unlike a typical museum/gallery tour here, it's not about us; we are more interested in you: your thoughts and your ideas. Never repeated and uniquely yours, our interactive and explorative video tours typically last 90 minutes and are facilitated LIVE by your interpretative guides.
Focusing on contemporary art, we aim to explore some of today's most pressing issues - bringing thoughts, feelings, and observations into a lively and sometimes challenging exchange. A global community of museum professionals, artists, students, makers, and members of the public awaits.
As always, all our events are FREE to attend & are never recorded. Every Wednesday, we schedule online events and broadcast LIVE at 7p ET/ 4p PT from Brooklyn, New York.
Join Us: This is going to be fun.
