“Faith Ringgold: American People” was her West Coast debut at the de Young museum in San Francisco, CA November 2022.
“Bringing together fifty years of work, this is the most comprehensive exhibition to date of Faith Ringgold’s groundbreaking vision…”
“From creating some of the most indelible artworks of the civil rights era to challenging accepted hierarchies of art versus craft through her experimental story quilts, Faith Ringgold’s body of work bears witness to the complexity of the American experience.”
