Over the past several years, the art world has seen a significant increase in exhibits exploring the amalgamation of both past and present representations of the Black identity. According to a 2021 Axios article written by Russell Contreras, many of these include escapist art pieces that center around themes of science fiction and fantasy, also known as Afrofuturism. From banners to dresses made of paper and Swarovski crystals to multi-colored quilts, Lauren Halsey, Fabiola Jean-Louis and Bisa Butler have been steadily making an impact on the art scene through their work across various mediums. These three Black female artists all have a vision of African American identities through both past and contemporary lenses: a vision they aim to share with the world.
