Featuring artists Faith Ringgold and Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter, Paint Me a Road Out of Here uncovers the whitewashed history of Faith’s masterpiece “For the Women’s House” and follows its 50-year journey from Rikers Island to the Brooklyn Museum in a heartbreaking, funny and true parable for a world without mass incarceration.

This event will be held at Harlem School of the Arts, 645 Saint Nicholas Avenue New York, NY 10030.
