On this episode of Time Sensitive, artist and director Rashid Johnson talks about the steep challenge of turning Richard Wright’s famed novel “Native Son” into an HBO feature film; using materials such as shea butter, black soap, and plants in his artworks; why he remains somewhat ambivalent about the idea of “wokeness”; and his fascination with the complexity and diversity of not just blackness but also whiteness.
