RIP Faith Ringgold (1930-2024), who leaves an incredible legacy after a life dedicated to art &activism. In story quilts such as the French Collection, she used textile art to intervene in narratives of art history & modernism, rewriting the canon to centre the Black female gaze

For my research for @Tate x @PaulMellonCentr British Art Network's Emerging Curators Group i'm exploring the realities and possibilities of Arts Work that is legitimately anticapitalist (i appreciate the irony and dw it is central to the project)

Requesting recs! 💓 I'm looking for your favourite:
- artist-led initiatives that are NOT ACE-funded

UK: If you’re an asylum seeker you get harassed, if you’re trans you get stabbed, if you’re gay you get punched, if you’re working-class mould kills you, if you’re old + poor you sit on buses to keep warm, if you’re disabled your life’s a fight, so who is this country for?
