Paint Me a Road Out of Here: Film Screening and Discussion

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. Join us for a screening and a discussion with Nicole R. Fleetwood, MacArthur Fellow and professor of media, culture, and communication at NYU; Catherine Gund, the film’s director; Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter, film participant and executive producer; and Leah Faria, film participant and director of community liaisons at Women’s Community Justice Association; moderated by Dána-Ain Davis, director of the Center for the Study of Women and Society and an associate professor at the Graduate Center and Queens College.

Presented with the Center for the Study of Women and Society.
