The Truth Booth - living art of the people, by the people and for the people.

[Lodestar]

What if half the things ever said turned out to be a lie
How will yo know the truth?
If you were given all the answers and you stopped to wonder why
But how will you know the truth? - Prince, The Truth

KICK STARTER
In Search of the Truth - The Truth Booth U.S. Tour

Join us as we set out on the road and travel the country In Search of the Truth!

With the U.S. presidential election looming large, acclaimed artist Hank Willis Thomas wants to bring a video confessional booth to each state in America. By traveling with his “Truth Booth,” he’ll be providing an essential forum for free expression from sea to shining sea — but he can’t do it without your help.

In Search of the Truth is an inflatable temporary public sculpture—an iconic, 14-feet high speech bubble. Inside is a video recording booth where the public can record two-minute videos as they complete the statement, "The truth is..." The responses we've gathered so far are humorous, confessional, empowering, vulnerable, poetic, and revealing. By embarking on a fifty-state tour, we aim to represent and celebrate the United States' diverse people, cultures, and locations.

The project includes a dedicated website for expanded audiences to track our U.S. tour, and view categorized videos. Throughout this long-term project, the video footage will be compiled and edited into a video installation to be exhibited in galleries, museums, and public viewings. It is our hope that viewers, as we have, realize that there are common things that people struggle with. That things like loss, love, hunger, and the feeling that you are worth more than society suggests are universal. That we all share truths.
