THANK YOU, SISTER

Sister Gertrude Morgan was an artist, evangelist, poet, and musician; a black woman wielding her tambourine, paint brush, and fierce voice to spread her singular message in the neighborhoods of New Orleans. Little known in mainstream culture, her artwork is in major institutions and has inspired a number of contemporary artists. The film seeks to question through Sister’s story and practicing artists impacted by her, the nature of truth, art, value, and identity.
