Intisar Abioto (b. Memphis, TN. 1986) is an artist working across photography, dance, and writing. Moving from the visionary and embodied root of Blackgirl Southern cross-temporal cross-modal storytelling ways, her works refer to the living breath and breadth of people of African descent against the expanse of their storied, imaginative, and geographic landscapes. Working in long-form projects encompassing the visual, folkloric, documentary, and performing arts, she has produced The People Could Fly Project, The Black Portlanders, and The Black. She is the guest curator of Black Artists of Oregon, exploring the history of Black artists in Oregon, recently exhibited at the Portland Art Museum. With the five women artists in her family, she is the co-founder of Studio Abioto, a multivalent creative arts studio.
