Description
Faith Ringgold is an accomplished painter, quilter, author and illustrator. Tar Beach is perhaps her best-known quilt and book.
My guest for this episode is a quilter and fellow podcaster Myrtle. She hosts a new podcast A Series of Dysfunctional Events set to launch on October 1. You can find her on her website. Dysfunctionalevents.com
Faith Ringgold began writing stories on the quilts as a way of getting her stories out there. She was not able to get her stories published, but when she put them on the quilt and hung it in a gallery, people could see it. Then later those quilts would be photographed and included in published articles or books further widening the audience to read her stories. Eventually, people did take notice and an audience grew for her stories. She has written and illustrated 17 children’s books. Tar Beach is her most famous work. The book was published in 1991 based on the story quilt of the same name which she created in 1990.
