{"value"=>"<p>Faith Ringgold (1930-2024) was an American painter, mixed media sculptor, performance artist, author, teacher, and activist. In 1983, Ringgold developed story quilts as an original art form, incorporating narrative text and imagery that addressed issues of race, gender, and social justice. Her quilts are a central focus of Jill Strauss's documentary, and the collection.</p> <p>Over the course of sixty years, Ringgold's quilt works, paintings, and textile sculptures have been the subject of exhibitions and retrospectives at institutions around the world including the New Museum in New York City, New York. Public collections across the country have acquired Ringgold's artworks, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Ringgold authored a number of books, including the award-winning children's book <span class=\"title\">Tar Beach</span> (1991), inspired by her story quilt of the same name.
