Description
Bobby and Afdhel are joined by conceptual artist and provocateur Hank Willis Thomas with his For Freedoms colleague Emma Nuzzo. We hear how they work to turn traditional ad-space into provoking art pieces, designed to inspire civic discourse, in the hopes of uniting a polarised nation.

Recorded in the inviting Soho House in 2018, this podcast series delves into many unique stories and the one thing they all have in common – the desire and the courage to transform our world for the better.
