Artist Bisa Butler's "portrait quilts" celebrate Black life and history
CBSN
Artist Bisa Butler has been called a modern-day Griot. But instead of using words to tell stories, she uses stitches and cloth.
Her quilts have graced the covers of magazines, and she created the striking illustration for the soon-to-be-released book "Unbound," the memoir of activist and Me Too movement founder Tarana Burke. Butler's vividly detailed portraits often reimagine the lives of those they portray, and now Butler's life is launching in a new direction.More Related News
