EJ Hill’s practice focuses on everyday experiences that intermingle public struggle, endurance, trauma, and joy—whether within athletics, religion, the American education system, or amusement parks through sculpture, installation, music, performance, and painting. His artworks are a form of embodied pedagogy, where he offers his viewers the tools to witness and feel things that might help unravel restrictive and harmful ideologies. Much of what he knows, he has learned from: Estelle Thompson, Karen Thompson, Ernest Hill Jr., Margaret Nomentana, Joan Giroux, Adam Brooks and Mat Wilson (Industry of the Ordinary), Andrea Fraser, Mario Ybarra Jr., Matt Austin, Young Chung, Adam Feldmeth, Jordan Casteel, TLC, Lauryn Hill, and Augie Grahn. He is forever indebted to these educators and thanks them endlessly.
