post for the blog (D.M.)

Hi all

As an artist I was deeply inspired by the message and the persistence of Faith Ringgold.

I would like to share some U—tubes that may shade some more light on her thinking.

 

 

Tar Beach - Faith Ringgold

  

Nobody told me I am a good writer or painter I just had a story that I needed to tell and kept going… "I found my images, I found my colors…I did not find my market".

Keep working, you are the only one who knows what you  are doing…

  1. Yes Faith Ringgold's method for cultural sharing is quite incredible. She successfully re-appropriates items that are symbolic of black women's oppression and transforms them into venues for education.
