Bisa Butler's Quilts of Black Joy, Life and History

[REBROADCAST FROM JUNE 15, 2023] Bisa Butler is a local artist who makes life sized quilts inspired by portraits of Black figures, including those taken by her favorite photographers such as Gordon Parks and Jamel Shabazz. Her solo exhibition, The World Is Yours, inspired by the lyrics of Nas combined textiles, paint, Nigerian hand-dyed batiks and African wax-resist cotton. Butler joins us in studio to discuss her process and the show, which was on view at Jeffery Deitch through June 30.
