Judy Chicago creatively consulted for Kanye West benefit for Larry Hoover.

Kanye West has asked Judy Chicago to consult with him as a creative consultant.

“The request came completely out of the blue,”

Chicago said

Chicago agreed to consult on the visuals for his benefit concert at Los Angeles Coliseum to Larry Hoover, the leader of Chicago’s Gangster disciples. Hoover has been locked up in Colorado’s federal Supermax jail and is serving several life sentences and has endured long periods of solitary confinement.

“My work has long been a way for me to raise awareness of inequality, educate viewers and enable them to make changes, I hope my contributions brought some joy to those who attended the concert, as well as to continue the necessary dialogue to address a reform of criminal justice in this country and around the world.”

Judy Chicago
