- We had the honor of filming our friend, textile artist Bisa Bulter. She is more than just an amazing artist, she is a beautiful person with a tremendous heart for her people.
"In my work, I am telling the story- this African American side- of the American life. History is the story of men and women, but the narrative is controlled by those who hold the pen.
My community has been marginalized for hundreds of years. While we have been right beside our white counterparts experiencing and creating history, our contributions and perspectives have been ignored, unrecorded, and lost. It is only a few years ago that it was acknowledged that the White House was built by slaves. Right there in the seat of power of our country African Americans were creating and contributing while their names were lost to history.
My subjects are African Americans from ordinary walks of life who may have sat for a formal family portrait or may have been documented by a passing photographer. Like the builders of the White House, they have no names or captions to tell us who they were."

I just had the pleasure of learning about Bisa Butler in my art history class. I am captivated by her work and can't wait to attend one of her exhibitions!
I went to the exhibition today at AIC today. All the artworks by Butler are stunning! Very powerful. I see the human dignity from her work. If you are in Chicago, go to see the exhibition!
love me some Bisa Butler!! I was considering continuing my education at Howard for a Masters or PhD in Psych but now Ms. Butler got me wanting to check out the Art Department!
Shoot. I wish I was Afroamerican. I just found your work. 👀👁👁. Wow! Love it. Cant stop looking. Absolutely beautiful. !!!!
I am Peacock Proud of this artist! I celebrate her this day! I had the distinct pleasure to view her quilted portraits at The Art Institute Chicago and could not hold back the joy, pride and tears as I stared into the eyes of each character created. Ii was intense. I too have roots in Ghana and am a graduate of Howard University. Look at God! A divine meeting!
Thank you for beautiful video and a chance to see Bisa Butler's art.
What a beautiful human being she is, very inspiring
Absolutely stunning and inspiring.
The majesty of Bisa’s work is beautifully told by the cinematographer here. Beautiful work on both sides of the camera. lighting, framing, composition, camera motion, camera angles, lens selection, depth of field, zoom, focus, color, exposure, and filtration. Great visual storytelling. Really appreciate the inspired work here - thank you
Awesome! Blessings.
Been following her on instagram for awhile, but to hear her talk about her art education and see all her quilts up in that gallery was amazing. Excellent video. Truly amazing quilts.
Same here !!! Her work is amazing and loved learning more about her as an artist ! (close up are just surreal, would love to see those quilts in person)

Amazing work! If possible, see it in person. The photo images are beautiful but in order to appreciate the textures and depth of each piece, and to experience the impact of this amazing body of work, it is worth a trip to see them in person. Thank you Bisa Butler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
