SUMMARY:Paint Me a Road out of Here
DESCRIPTION:Introduction by Susan Earle\, Curator of European and American Art at the Spencer Museum of Art on Faith Ringgold’s visits to Lawrence. \nDirected by: Cathrine Gund \nRun Time: 1 hr 30 min \nABOUT THE FILM\nIn 1971\, artist Faith Ringgold created a monumental painting “For the Women’s House” for the women incarcerated at Rikers Island jail. Fifty years later\, artist Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter\, who gave birth in prison 15 years ago\, finds herself banding together with an eclectic group of activists\, politicians\, artists\, corrections officers and Faith Ringgold herself to free the artwork with the ultimate goal of freeing the women. Paint Me a Road Out of Here is a wild tale of the painting’s whitewashed journey and the two artists who challenged the same powerful and oppressive institutions\, a half century apart\, with their artwork\, their voices and their shared\, persistent goals.
