Bisa Butler: Portraits | 
I so want to get my hands on a copy of this exhibition catalogue! I finally got to visit the Art Institute Of Chicago to see Bisa Butler‘s beautiful artwork up close. She paints stories through an extraordinary quilting practice. Pictured here is “Four Little Girls, September 15, 1963,” 2018 - which commemorates the lives of 4 girls murdered in 16th St. Baptist Church that was bombed by white supremacists in Birmingham, Alabama.

Lesliereads @Eggs SO beautiful 😍 @arubabookwoman All quilted work!!💖 I think the artist stopped painting because she didn‘t want paint fumes and such to negatively impact the life of her then-newborn child. 4y
