In our conversation, Johnson traces his creative origins back to his family, and follows that journey all the way to this incredibly transformative time period we’re living in. Moreover, the freedom of moving outside of the boundaries of one’s hometown has unearthed unknown aspects to his artistic storytelling. His detail oriented style, paired with his eagerness to constantly push and study new art forms allowed him to not only challenge, but reclaim Western narratives of Blackness and queerness. Growing up with a father who was an artist encouraged him to explore his artistic mind and delve into paint, collage, and sculpture as a medium. Contemporary artist Leasho Johnson came to Chicago from his home in Sheffield, a small town on the outskirts of Negril in Jamaica to attend The School of the Art Institute Chicago in 2018 to get his Masters of Fine Art in Painting and Drawing.

From beloved columnist Michael Harriot comes a comprehensive and bitingly hilarious appraisal of American history, in which the dominant narrative is directly confronted and corrected to showcase the perspectives and experiences of Black Americans.

The French edition, translated by Josette Chicheportiche and published by Editions Gallmeister in January of 2017, sold over 200,000 copies in less than five years and was awarded a number of literary prizes, including Le Prix de l’Union Interallié, Le Prix des lecteurs du pays de Mortagne, and Le Prix du Marais. Into the Forest has been chosen for a number of college and city-wide reading programs and translated into over a dozen languages, most recently Swedish, Korean, Dutch, and French. It is the kind of book that some readers read slowly in order to savor every sentence, and that costs other readers a night’s sleep, when they find that they cannot put it down. Intended more a metaphor or a fable than a prediction, warning, or how-to guide, Into the Forest has been called both poetic and a page-turner. Set in the northern Californian forest in the near-future, Into the Forest focuses on the relationship between two isolated teenaged sisters as they struggle to survive the collapse of society.
