Faith Ringgold transformed the story quilt into a powerful medium for recounting African American histories, family narratives and civil-rights struggles. Combining painted canvas, fabric borders and handwritten text, her works merge image and voice with disarming clarity.

From Tar Beach to later series, Ringgold’s practice bridges studio, classroom and street, insisting on art’s role in education and activism. Her quilts are intimate and public at once, inviting audiences to read, remember and imagine together.
