ALIYAH BONNETTE’s work tells the story of a black woman’s journey to find herself. She combines improvisational quilting to stitch together the stories and memories of black women across generations. Through the addition of paint, she constructs stories of her own blackness, femininity and sexuality beyond the violence and hyper sexualization that Black women face in a colonized world.
