Quilts by Bisa Butler

 

A friend told me about these, and I'm thrilled: 

Extraordinary, really fantastic quilts by Black artist Bisa Butler,

featured here, on this site by the Art Institute of Chicago, and there is some music, too, very wonderful:

"Bisa Butler creates portraits that are singular and striking. Her works, intricately layered and vibrantly colored quilts, resurface and reimagine historical narratives of Black life."
