Artist

Faith Ringgold

Painting

A civil rights and gender equality activist, Faith Ringgold infuses her diverse artistic practice with politically charged explorations of black female identity. Most famous for her narrative quilts, Ringgold’s oeuvre also encompasses painting, sculpture, performance art, mixed media and children’s literature. Her artwork, synthesizing Ringgold’s western training with African artistic traditions, subverts prejudicial narratives to recast black women as courageous, empowering figures.
