Ramsay Kolber Review
In 2017, there is still much work to be done to break down the barriers to a truly equitable society: some palpable, others invisible. But fighting for freedom often comes with having the freedom to do so in the first place, and not everyone is equally free. This is a point that Faith Ringgold and We Wanted a Revolution both make ardently clear: we cannot continue to whitewash the histories of those women who society has systemically failed. Rather we need to acknowledge those failures and see the long road out, towards a better, more empathetic future. Ringgold’s painting still offers us a window to that world; don’t send it back unseen.
