Faith Ringgold: Freedom to Say What I Please

Join MA-NMWA for a curator-led tour of the Faith Ringgold exhibition, with Samantha Cataldo, the Worcester Art Museum’s Associate Curator of Contemporary Art, and organizer of the exhibition.

For six decades, Faith Ringgold has created art to investigate her place in the world, particularly her experiences as a Black woman in America. Deeply personal, celebratory of African American culture, and rooted in political activism, Ringgold’s work incorporates craft and storytelling to explore themes around identity and history. Including 16 objects that range from textiles and sculpture to paintings and prints, this exhibition will mark the acclaimed artist, author, and activist’s first solo exhibition in New England in nearly 15 years.

Ringgold: “You asked me once why I wanted to become an artist and I said I didn’t know. Well, I know now. It is because it’s the only way I know of feeling free."
