Artists Studio: EJ Hill

“[Hill’s work] generates narratives, gets passed along from person to person, [and] takes on a mythic life of its own.”
Hyperallergic

Through a practice that includes writing, music, painting, and sculpture, EJ Hill tells untold stories and provides visibility for those who have been historically ignored, focusing on everyday experiences that intermingle public struggle, endurance, trauma, joy, and resilience. His work interrogates how society’s deeply held prejudices and inequalities continue to position Black, brown, and queer bodies as targets of violence. The performance artist comes to the Veterans Room with a team of his primary collaborators to create an evening of song, storytelling, and sonic exploration. Collectively, they weave together their individual influences and practices to offer musical constellations which sprawl the space between disaster and desire.

With [jef]Frey Michael Austin, Carson Childs, Quincie Mychelle Lewis, and Alexander Margarite
