'My ancestry is the history of me, and I’m very interested in that. I always come from the perspective of being a Black woman in America— that’s my story, at all times of my life.' RIP Faith Ringgold interviewmagazine.com/art/faith-ring…

The work of Faith Ringgold brought life to so many of our experiences and thoughts as Black folx. I just want to remember all the beauty and stories she gave to us through her art. Rest in Power!

Zeina’s palindromic sonnets are not just gorgeous. Her formal daring also captures something otherwise elusive: how turning something backwards might be the only way to see it straight; how everything has an underside; how sometimes the underbelly is the thing ❤️

RIP Faith Ringgold 😓

She gave love, intelligence, empathy, hope and beauty. One of my favorite #womenartists

RIP, amazing artist Faith Ringgold🙏🏾 interviewmagazine.com/art/faith-ring…

What an absolutely brilliant human being. This is how you stand up for what’s right and speak up for those that have smaller voices for you. This is what being a better person looks like. Love Daniel Radcliffe. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

The way faith ringgold makes black feminist craft possible.

I always loved her jazz stories series:
(L) ‘Mama Can Sing, Papa Can Blow #6: I'm Leavin in the Mornin’ & (R) ‘Mama Can Sing, Papa Can Blow #8: Don't Wanna Love You’

RIP Faith Ringgold! Talk about a legacy of cultural storytelling ✨
