Now Glenstone fans have more to look forward to: When the museum opens its indoor section again this spring, it will feature a major exhibit on the American artist Faith Ringgold. Glenstone will be the only American stop on the two-year tour of Ringgold’s works, which was organized by Serpentine Galleries in London. The exhibit was previously featured at Serpentine and the Bildmuseet museum in Umeå, Sweden. It will be Glenstone’s first time hosting a touring exhibit. The 90-year-old Ringgold was born in Harlem, and her mediums include painting, soft sculpture, performance art, mixed media, and quilting. A social and political activist, Ringgold has focused much of her work on issues of politics and race. Glenstone’s exhibit of 70-plus pieces will stretch from Ringgold’s early days, when she created political posters during the 1960s civil rights protests, to her later work creating quilts that depict arresting images of the Black-American experience.
