Robert Johnson III is an artist /photographer/ filmmaker whose work explores the black cultural identity, micro-utopias, and the concept of home. With themes of resilience, representation, migration, education, struggle and joy, his practice reinterprets his familial archive, cultural ephemera and his maternal ritual of quilting, weaving the past and the present, as a contemporary black aesthetic for a future that is now.
As a TLC Graduate Pedagogy Fellow, he is interested in expanding his pedagogical practice to further establish classrooms that are equitable, inclusive and active learning spaces that inspire wonder and foster creativity for students make art. He recently showcased this aspect of his practice creating a pedagogical curriculum for a TA Retreat for the incoming EA+SP cohort as a peer leader and mentor. In the future, he hopes to work at a community college as a photography instructor to “be the change he wanted to see” for the next generation of visual artists.
