Abstract

Rujeko Hockley, an associate curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and her husband Hank Willis Thomas, an artist, are a prominent couple in the art world dedicated to promoting racial equity. Thomas focuses on "re-right-ing" history through his art, including installations connecting mass incarceration to slavery. Hockley aims to make nonwhite individuals feel welcome in institutions not originally designed for them, such as the Whitney Museum. Their collaboration and influence on each other's work are evident, with Hockley curating shows and Thomas creating art that challenges historical narratives. [Extracted from the article]
