Renowned conceptual artist and Co-founder of For Freedoms, Hank Willis Thomas, and designer and founder of Denim Tears, Tremaine Emory.
In the midst of COVID-19 and merely days before the 2020 election, Hank and Tremaine take a moment to reflect on their collaborative efforts to support the Black vote while keeping their eyes on the future. In this video, Hank and Tremaine discuss how Black ingenuity in fashion, music, art, and branding collabs can be a tool used towards shifting the culture of civic engagement in America.
