These skate decks are based on Faith Ringgold's iconic work Woman Freedom Now (1971). Ringgold's series of posters was created to be distributed at public meetings and displayed at spontaneous protests during the early 1970s. The design for the poster is linked to the composition of paintings in Ringgold’s Black Light Series #11: US American Black (1969).

Woman Freedom Now features the colors red, black, and green as a means to represent the Pan-African or Black Liberation Flag.

These skate decks were created through a collaboration between our partners at MoMA and Harlem native artist Faith Ringgold.
