Peaceful journeys to artist/actvist/author/educator @faithringgold, who transitioned April 12, 2024 at 93 years old.
My Hero
My North Star
My Inspiration for creating my #ArtIsAWeapon platform to promote the transformative power of Black Art for Social Justice!
I am grateful that I was able to sit with, learn from and thank her for the profound, positive impact she made on my life.
Images of Ms. Ringgold's extraordinary body of work taken at "Faith Ringgold: American People," the 2022 exhibition at @newmuseum that featured over fifty years of work by the visionary, trailblazing artist.
▪︎
Reposted from the @nytimes: Faith Ringgold, a multimedia artist whose pictorial quilts depicting the African American experience gave rise to a second distinguished career as a writer and illustrator of children’s books, died on Saturday at her home in Englewood, N.J. She was 93...For more than a half-century, Ms. Ringgold explored themes of race, gender, class, family and community through a vast array of media, among them painting, sculpture, mask- and doll-making, textiles and performance art. She was also a longtime advocate of bringing the work of Black people and women into the collections of major American museums.
Ms. Ringgold’s art, which was often rooted in her own experience, has been exhibited at the White House and in museums and galleries around the world. It is in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the American Craft Museum in New York; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston; and other institutions.
For Ms. Ringgold, as her work and many interviews made plain, art and activism were a seamless, if sometimes quilted, whole. Classically trained as a painter and sculptor, she began producing political paintings in the 1960s and ’70s that explored the highly charged subjects of relations between Black and white people, and between men and women, in America. www.nytimes.com/2024/04/13/arts/faith-ringgold-dead.html

"Richard Hunt: Early Masterworks, the second largest exhibition of the artist's work in New York in over 50 years," is on view at @whitecube through tomorrow, April 13th.
📍White Cube Gallery
1002 Madison Avenue #NYC
Reposted from @whitecube / @richardhuntsculptor In 1971, Richard Hunt achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first African American sculptor to have a landmark retrospective at MoMA, New York with a presentation of works from 1955–71.
This show at White Cube New York mirrors that time span, including the restaging of several works that were presented in his MoMA retrospective.
Several rarely exhibited works from the artist’s personal collection, including ‘Hero’s Head’ (1956), a pivotal sculpture made in response to the murder of Emmett Till, feature in the show.
"[Richard Hunt's] attendance at the Till funeral nearly 70 years ago helped establish the course for his career." - New York Times
When Richard Hunt was 19 years old, he witnessed the open-casket funeral of Emmett Till in Chicago. Till, who was abducted, tortured, and lynched in Mississippi in 1955, had grown up only two blocks from the Woodlawn home where Hunt was born. Till's mother, Mamie, decided to have an open casket for Emmett, and images of his mutilation circulated the world to show the torture and violence conducted on her son. Hunt would later remark, "What happened to [Till] could have happened to me." Hunt went on to create art shaped by this experience, which influenced both his artistic expression and his commitment to the cause of Civil Rights.
"[The sculpture] Hero's Head, 1956, is what I would call my response to Emmett Till," says Richard Hunt. "I was there with my mother and father, my sister, and my cousin who was part of the family . . . [Emmett Till's] remains are there at the church. Till's mother had an open casket. It was obviously something to respond to."

Reposted from @marianeibrahimgallery Lorraine O'Grady for @harpersbazaarus, the Possibility Issue (April 2024): "The Audacity of Lorraine O'Grady"
"Her first solo show at Mariane Ibrahim, "The Knight, or Lancela Palm-and-Steel," opens April 10 at the gallery's Windy City flagship and will feature a character, the Knight, that was introduced in "Both/And" with a set of "announcement cards" titled "Announcement of a New Persona (Performances to Come!)”… Like so much of O’Grady’s work, the Knight combines her predilection for mischief with her continued focus on hybridity and the constraints and contradictions of identity.”

@damsonidris @essence #SexiestMenOfTheMoment
Reposted from @essence Damson Idris: Brick by Brick
The inaugural ESSENCE Sexiest Men of the Moment list has arrived, and our first May/ June cover star is Damson Idris!
The Foundation of a man. He stands 6’1, with deep auburn skin and a 4K pearly smile that glistens like ultraviolet rays off charcoal mines in the deepest sands off the coast of Nigeria. Yes, it’s that deep. His charm is tangible. His infectiousness is palatable. His future is limitless.
We let the veil and Snowfall, as the curtain has called Franklin Saint to his highest heights. His recent NAACP Image Award win has cemented the bricks and built the house of a career that, like portraits, is developing in real-time.
Make no error that this new era of Damson Idris has a Formula — One that follows the path of Hollywood greats and has us anticipating his upcoming feature film debut.
But before we switch gears, let’s get to know the man beyond the heartthrob. The notoriously private actor dishes on his rom-com hopes, staying in line while remaining offline, and why he thinks he’s one of ESSENCE Sexiest Men of the Moment.
Read the full May /June cover story on ESSENCE.com now and on newsstands on 4/23.

Reposted from @fwdtogether It’s here! Our Building Irresistible Movements Guide: Best Practices for Organizations and Visual Artists is now available for download! (Link in bio, or go to forwardtogether.org/tools/BIM!)
Thanks to the work and visioning of #artists, cultural workers, and organizational freedom fighters, the BIM Guide is designed to support a shift in culture and care for artists and collaborations for movement work!
The power of movement art rests in the power of the people, relationships, and histories that create it. As we face surging white nationalism, healthcare crises, genocide, fascism, and climate collapse, the possibilities of transformation through law are and have always been limited! The Building Irresistible Movements guide is so integral to the shift we need across our movement to ethically and intentionally develop cultural strategies for art and artists. Download the guide today and let us know how it impacts you!

#MarvinGaye - my favorite musical artist of all time - was born 85 years ago today (April 2, 1939).
Gifted, flawed, spiritual, tormented, beautiful...
Caption reposted from @nmaahc What's a Marvin Gaye song that speaks to you?
#OnThisDay in 1939, singer Marvin Pentz Gaye Jr. was born. The Washington, D.C. native developed an early love of music through the church, and by the 1960s came to be known as the #PrinceofSoul.
The son of a Hebrew Pentecostal minister, it was the Pentecostal Church that served as the context of his faith formation and creative musical genius. Gaye mastered the piano and drums as a child and caught the attention of Motown founder Berry Gordy, who hired him as a session drummer for the label working on songs for Stevie Wonder and The Supremes. Under the label, Gaye would enjoy a steady string of hits including “Stubborn Kinda Fellow” (1962), “I’ll Be Doggone” (1965), and “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” (1968). As a major Motown artist, Gaye is credited as one of the sonic architects responsible for creating the label’s distinctive sound.
Described by Ebony as “intensely spiritual, almost mystical,” and seemingly in “pursuit of some ethereal other world” because of his preoccupation with religion and sexuality, Marvin Gaye’s artistry further complicated conventional notions of the holy and the profane. Alongside the strong religious and sexual sensibilities evidenced in later songs such as “Sexual Healing,” “Sanctified Lady,” and “Let’s Get It On,” Gaye’s 11th album, What’s Going On, is acclaimed for the socially conscious quality of his lyrical content. Themes explored on the album include an anti-war critique, ecology, love, sensuality, and community, all informed by his formative Hebraic-Pentecostal worldview.

Description:
"Art, Beats + Lyrics, a powerful new documentary premiering on Hulu this Spring, brings to life the inspiring story of the eponymous art and hip hop roadshow now in its twentieth year. With its roots in Atlanta, AB+L began as a humble, one-night-only art event hosted at a dive bar in the bohemian neighborhood of Little Five Points. It has since grown into a national platform for visionary artists and musicians to showcase their creativity, touring in major cities across the US year after year. Part exhibition, part concert, AB+L offers attendees a unique, immersive experience that celebrates art and hip hop culture. The film, directed by Bill Horace and presented in collaboration with Vox Creative, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, Spark Foundry and Cult Creative, documents the lead up to AB+L’s 20th-anniversary tour, kicking off at Miami Art Week."
