Thomas Allen Harris is a critically acclaimed, interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker, and scholar whose work explores family, identity, and spirituality. Drawing from the rich canon of African American and African Diaspora literature and arts, he utilizes a wide range of media including video, photography, installations, film, and performance, as well as curation and written texts, to draw audiences into internal and external dialogues that transcend the artificial barriers – personal and social – which separate people from each other and themselves. Harris re-interprets concepts around identity, autobiography, and representation using a model of co-creative socially engaged practice that he has been developing for over three decades.
