Rashid Johnson is one of the most influential American voices in contemporary art whose multidisciplinary works interrogate themes of art historical canons, cultural identity, critical history, and personal narratives. Often drawing from materials or formal vocabularies from autobiographical experiences, Johnson’s practice weaves through the larger context of African American creative histories through film, video, installation, sculpture, and painting.
