Flying Free: The Audacious Work of Faith Ringgold

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Koret Auditorium, Virtual Event

From the rooftops of Harlem to the Louvre in Paris, Faith Ringgold’s work, including her innovative narrative quilts, embodies powerful and instructive narratives about labor, love, life, and the notion of radical imagination. In this lecture, Sandra Jackson-Dumont, director and chief executive officer of the Lucas Museum of Art, will discuss how Ringgold’s approach to visual storytelling functions as a form of social, personal, and collective liberation.

Sandra Jackson-Dumont is a Lucas Museum of Narrative Art Curator, author, educator, administrator, and public advocate for reimagining the role of art museums in society. Jackson-Dumont has served as director and chief executive officer of the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art since January 2020. She oversees all curatorial, educational, public, and operational affairs for the fast-developing institution, including realization of the 11-acre campus in Los Angeles, currently under construction, which includes a nearly 300,000-square-foot museum building and an expansive new park.

This event is free and open to the public. In-person or virtual. Admission into Faith Ringgold: American People exhibition is an additional cost.  General admission into the museum on Saturdays is free to all San Francisco residents and the majority of neighboring Bay Area counties.
