The 50 year journey of the women at Rikers jail, and a painting that leads the way out.
Featuring artists Faith Ringgold and Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter, PAINT ME A ROAD OUT OF HERE uncovers the whitewashed history of Ringgold’s 1971 painting, “For the Women’s House,” and discovers how its journey from Rikers Island to the Brooklyn Museum is a heartbreaking, funny and true parable for a world without mass incarceration.
MEANWHILE is a docu-poem in six verses, a groundbreaking, immersive, nonlinear, and dynamic collaboration by Jacqueline Woodson (text), Meshell Ndegeocello (soundscape), Erika Dilday (support), M. Trevino (structure), and Catherine Gund (direction). A rare cinematic meditation on how race, racism, and resistance shape our shared breath, not just in moments of violence but in the enduring, pervasive legacy of that risk, it combines artists’ expressions with historical and observational footage to unveil the profound impact of white supremacy on our human connections.
