"Remembering Faith Ringgold: Trailblazing Artist and Activist"
Faith Ringgold, a versatile artist and social justice activist, passed away at 93, leaving behind a legacy of work that intricately intertwined personal and political themes. Despite being overlooked by the art establishment for much of her career, her semi-autobiographical painted narrative quilts and children's books gained popularity among diverse audiences. Only recently did major recognition come her way, with the Museum of Modern Art acquiring several pieces from her early career, including the monumental 1967 painting "American People Series #20: Die," which vividly captured the societal tensions of the time.
