Faith Ringgold: The Power of Storytelling in Fabric and Paint

She sews. She paints. She tells stories with color, cloth, and courage.

That's Faith Ringgold—a revolutionary American artist who has woven the personal and the political into extraordinary quilts, paintings, and books for decades. Born in Harlem in 1930, Ringgold grew up surrounded by the vibrant culture of the Harlem Renaissance and the stark realities of racial inequality in America.
