Samantha Wilson

Samantha Wilson is a painter and puppeteer. She moved from Buffalo, NY to Brooklyn to study at Pratt Institute, earning her BFA. She was part of the World War III Arts in Action collective, protesting the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and co-founded Milk Not Jails, advocating for criminal justice reform and local agriculture. Sam frequently performs with Bread and Puppet Theater and Great Small Works. In 2016 she co-founded Boxcutter Collective. Their work addresses current political movements drawing inspiration from anti-fracking activists, efforts to unionize workers, anti-war demonstrations, decolonization thinkers, abolitionist strategists, and others to make puppet shows with the goal of inciting the revolutionary paradigm-shift that we all know our world needs.
