The bellow + the whale is a chicago-based neo-soul folk music and art duo that speaks a truth that can be hard to swallow at times, taste so sweet at others, and leave you feeling all the feels. Bianca Bernard Black and Julia Lee Norris are the bellow + the whale. Together they craft mixed media imagery, photography, paper cutouts, paintings, and illustrations. Their imagery takes you into the world as they see it, the dark realities mixed with the bold and fantastical.
