  • Brooklyn artist Bisa Butler sometimes has pain in her hands. That's because of the many hours she spends making intricate quilts. So intricate, in fact, that she turns them into portraits of the people in her life and in her community. You'll meet her at the site of her recent exhibit, in Bed-Stuy.

    Her art is very good but It's sad that Blacks (and this woman) think THEY were the only poor and that they invented Quilting! The plantation owners were maybe 1% of the people in America! The rest of the people were mostly poor. I bet quilting was around for many, many years before the blacks were brought here. FYI---Irish people were brought here as slaves too.

      I went back several times and replayed that portion of the video. I heard that "quilts have always been ours...." She DID NOT SAY that "quilts were created by us only and were ours ONLY." She spoke from her perspective. Of course others can relate. But it isn't her responsibility to speak for all others. That's not what her art is about. Many stories have been told of other people. She is choosing to tell our story.
