Faith Ringgold is an African American artist, activist and children's author, born in Harlem in 1930. But there's much more to her life than I can attempt to cover in this brief blog post.
I went to her first exhibition in a European venue, the Serpentine Gallery in London, which spans over 50 years of her art. It includes oil paintings, political posters and textile story quilts. Her works are exuberant, sombre, painful and political.
Some of her artworks are shown below and you can see more with these links:
