Faith Ringgold, Groovin' High, 1996.
Stories and Journeys: The Art of Faith Ringgold and Aminah Robinson
March 30 – June 8, 2014
"Ringgold and Robinson have been close friends since meeting in 1988 and their apparent commonalities inspired the pairing. They are African-American, feminists, both making art associated with women’s work, and each uses story and the narrative form.
Although Ringgold grew up in New York City and Robinson in Ohio, the two share a rich appreciation for keeping alive the stories of their ancestors, both literal and figurative. They use a variety of media, combining painting, drawing and sculpture with textiles and craftwork. Each incorporates the materials and visual language from their African American heritage with those from the Western tradition. These extraordinary artists tell stories which inspire, educate, commemorate and preserve memories."
