Faith Ringgold - Black is beautiful

Written in French.

Faith Ringgold is a major figure in American feminist art, from the civil rights struggle to the Black Lives Matter movement, the author of famous works of children's literature, and a militant activist. Her work forms a unique bridge between the rich heritage of the Harlem Renaissance and the current art of young African-American artists.

Ringgold's career as a whole bears witness to her quest for and creation of singular forms of radical exploration of sexual and racial identity. The book that accompanies the exhibition retraces Faith Ringgold's exemplary career, giving ample space to the writings and words of the artist herself, including a major interview, never before published in France, with her daughter, a writer and essayist.
