Faith Ringgold developed a unique practice combining painting, sculpture, and a pioneering approach to quilt-making to narrate American history.
Ringgold engaged with the legacies of slavery through her achievements in quilting, likely influenced by her great-great-great-grandmother, a former slave who made quilts.
Her artwork, displayed in Harlem and influenced by a democratic approach to art-making, aimed to politicize, revolutionize, and embrace the people in the street.
