Bisa Butler and the Negro Boys on Easter Morning Something You Can Feel: A Black Art History Podcast
-
- Visual Arts
In this episode, I tell my friend, Ona, about the "Negro Boys on Easter Sunday," a 1941 photograph taken across the street from the Regal Theatre on Chicago's south-side in the midst of the Great Migration. I also share a bit about the life and work of quilter Bisa Butler, who used the photo as inspiration for one of her quilt, and talk about my visit to the Black Power Naps exhibition at the MOMA and Terrence Nance's Swarm show at Philly's Institute of Contemporary Art.
If you're interested in participating in the giveaway that includes a 8.5x11 cyanotype recreation of "Negro Boys on Easter Sunday," you have until June 15th to leave a comment and email me a screenshot at qiaira14@gmail.com or dm it on instagram @@thegoodhoodwitch .
