Question Bridge is an innovative, transmedia project that uses video to facilitate a conversation among black men from diverse backgrounds. Originally created by Chris Johnson in 1996, the project was revived by Hank Willis Thomas, Kamal Sinclair, and Bayeté Ross Smith, who filmed over 150 black men in nine American cities, each of whom asked questions and answered those posed by other black men. This content was used to create a five-screen video installation that has been exhibited at over thirty-five institutions, including the Brooklyn Museum; Oakland Museum of California; Birmingham Museum of Art, Alabama; Cleveland Museum of Art; Milwaukee Art Museum; California African American Museum, Los Angeles; DuSable Museum of African American History, Chicago; Exploratorium, San Francisco; Missouri History Museum, St. Louis; Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts+Culture, Charlotte, North Carolina; Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York; and the New Frontier exhibition at the Sundance Film Festival, Park City, Utah. The Question Bridge project includes various platforms, an interactive website, and a mobile app, as well as community roundtable conversations and a curriculum designed for high school learners.
