Paint Me a Road Out of Here Film Screening & Discussion
Wednesday, October 8 | 6–9 pm | The Fitler Club, level 2 boardroom | 24 S. 24th St, Philadelphia
Join us for a special screening of Paint Me a Road Out of Here, a feature documentary that explores the movement to end mass incarceration of Black women by means of liberating Faith Ringgold’s 1971 painting For the Women’s House from Rikers Island and the art of Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter. Paint Me a Road out of Here traces the journeys of the painting and of two artists who challenged the same oppressive institutions with their artwork, voices, and shared pursuits.
The screening will be followed by a special in-person discussion featuring artist Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter, director Catherine Gund, and Founder of Ardella’s House Tonie Willis. Dr. Kimberly McGlonn will moderate the discussion.
