“To control a people, you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. And when your conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and your history, he needs no prison walls and no chains to hold you.”—John Henrik Clarke (1915 -1998)

Celebrating The Magical Art of Faith Ringgold (1930 - 2024)!
πWe remember and honor artist and educator, Faith Ringgold (October 8, 1930–April 13, 2024), who was born in Harlem, New York. π¨"She is widely known for her paintings, mixed media sculptures, and narrative quilts. Ringgold’s artwork is celebrated for its visually rich storytelling, incisive cultural critique, and innovative blend of techniques and materials, which propelled her art-world ascent and acquisition into major museum collections. A lifelong educator, Ringgold worked in New York City’s public school system for decades, teaching art to children while cultivating her own creative practice."-High Museum of Art. ❤️❤️❤️Sunday is the last day to see her exhibit in Atlanta. Get tickets! https://high.org/exhibition/faith-ringgold-seeing-children/
