Member’s Reception | Another Justice: US is Them—Hank Willis Thomas | For Freedoms

July 22, 2022, 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm

REGISTER

6 PM | Talk with the Curators and the Artists

Join us for the preview of Another Justice: US is Them, featuring the new work of 12 contemporary artists from For Freedoms—the artist collective co-founded by Hank Willis Thomas with the mission to model and increase creative civic engagement, discourse, and direct action.

Presented in the Parrish galleries, outdoors in the Meadow, and as digital billboards on the Shinnecock Monuments on Sunrise Highway, the exhibition features mixed media, sculpture, site-responsive installation, wall painting, and photography—much of which was created specifically for the exhibition. Another Justice is a call to the community to reconvene and reconsider the meaning of justice in a time of imbalance.

In an ongoing partnership with the Museum, The Watermill Center has invited Thomas and For Freedoms for a residency from September 14 to October 7, 2022, as part of their Inga Maren Otto Fellowship for visual artists. A series of public programs in conjunction will take place at the Parrish and Watermill during the residency.

Another Justice: US is Them—Hank Willis Thomas | For Freedoms is organized by Corinne Erni, Senior Curator of ArtsReach and Special Projects, with support from Brianna Hernández, Curatorial Fellow, and is co-curated by Hank Willis Thomas and Carly Fischer.

The exhibition is made possible, in part, thanks to the generous support of Katherine Farley and Jerry Speyer; Alexandra Stanton and Sam Natapoff; Miyoung Lee and Neil Simpkins; Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder; George Wells; Scott and Margot Ziegler; Nina Yankowitz; Caroline Hoffman; The Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family; and Storm Ascher, Superposition Gallery.

We are also grateful to Ben Brown Fine Arts, London, Hong Kong, Palm Beach; Jack Shainman Gallery, New York; Pace LA; and Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London for their in-kind support.

The Parrish Art Museum’s programs are made possible, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and by the property taxpayers from the Southampton School District and the Tuckahoe Common School District.
