In 1971, artist Faith Ringgold created For the Women's House, a monumental painting for the women incarcerated at Rikers Island jail. Fifty years later, artist Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter finds herself banding together with a group of activists, politicians, artists, corrections officers and Faith Ringgold herself to free the artwork, with the ultimate goal of freeing the women. PAINT ME A ROAD OUT OF HERE is the tale of the painting’s whitewashed journey and the two artists who challenged the same powerful and oppressive institutions, a half century apart. |

Motion Picture Technical High School |
Last Wednesday, we partnered with Motion Picture Technical High School to bring PAINT to their community. Assistant editor, Hina Ali, led a fruitful discussion with the students earlier that day, with editor and producer, Arielle Amsalem, wrapping up the day with community screening and enlightening conversation later that evening. We loved seeing the next generation get involved and imagine a future informed by love and freedom. MPTH will see us again in the future! |

RISD Providence Screening |
"The screening program...was powerful—filled with love, intention, and possibility needed for liberation... Thank YOU for bringing such a moving film program to RISD. I very much appreciated the thoughtful panel." - RISD Community Members
The screening and discussion brought panelists and audience members to tears. Dina Bruce, Anjel Newmann, and Christopher Roberts spread awareness about the futures and career options available to the formerly-incarcerated, as well as the transformative power of art. Ultimately, they shined light on how absolutely revolutionary the experience and work of Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter, and women like her, are to true social liberation. |
