BILAL AMANO
Director & Creator
My name is Bilal Amano, a photographer and storyteller based in Minneapolis MN and New York. I started Tapestry of Cultures to honor the beauty of heritage and the way it lives in today’s cities. My work focuses on people, their roots, and the style and strength they carry into the present.
This project comes from a love of film photography and the communities that raised me. Every portrait and group image is about more than clothing. It’s about identity, memory, and the way culture continues to move with us wherever we are.
Through Tapestry of Cultures, I want to give space for voices that often go unseen and create a body of work that feels true to who we are.
