“Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers” is a major survey spanning the Chicago artist’s nearly three-decade career. Through photography, video, immersive painting and large-scale installation, the exhibition explores the fragility of the human psyche against the weight of historic forces. Centering freedom as his primary muse, Johnson draws inspiration from radical movements of the late 20th century, showcasing how individuals and communities resist established orders to carve out new paths through history.
