Bio
Portia Cobb is an interdisciplinary collaborative artist deeply interested in telling stories that reflect the double-consciousness of African American history, identity, memory & forced forgetting.
Her body of work and research have joined these themes to short-form videos, photographic essays, field recordings, installation and site-specific performance.
She is a Professor-Emerita of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Peck School of The Arts: Department of Film, Video, Animation & New Genres.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story-inside you.”
—Maya Angelou
