Songlines: Australian Aboriginal Culture

A new exhibition gives a fascinating insight into the songlines which are a fundamental part of Indigenous Australian culture. These creation stories also function as oral maps to practical places such as waterholes and to sacred sites. The exhibition at Quai Branly was curated by Indigenous Australian Elders, who traditionally preserve and pass on the songlines stories.

Steven Spielberg: The Fabelmans

Everybody knows Steven Spielberg’s films, but nobody really knows about his private life and above all, what made him become a multi-awarded film director. This file will enable the students to learn more about him, his early life and his family – more precisely his mom, who he credits with his artistic side – thanks to a study of two trailers and a video interview of Spielberg.

Roald Dahl Rewritten?

There has been a lot in the news about Roald Dahl’s publishers putting out new versions of his novels for children, changing some of the language, like “fat” and “ugly” that sensitivity readers felt were inappropriate for today’s readers. After negative reactions the publishers said they would continue to publish the original texts of books like Matilda and The BFG as well as the newly edited ones.

Emily Brontë Biopic

Emily Brontë was one of the most extraordinary group of siblings in British literature. Although she wrote just one novel, Wuthering Heights, it has resonated across the world since 1847. A new biopic tries to imagine how Emily got inspiration for her Romantic classic. Emma Mackey (Eiffel, Death on the Nile) embodies the fierce, shy and unconventional author.

Telling the Story of Emmett Till

When 14-year-old Emmett Till was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, he could have just have been another statistic in the segregated South under Jim Crow. But his mother decided the world would be made to see what her son had suffered and her actions galvanised the Civil Rights movement. A new film, 18 years in the making, tells the story of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley.

Faith Ringgold: Black Art Matters

Over a long career Faith Ringgold has used her art to support civil rights for African Americans and feminist causes. The first retrospective of her work in France makes the message clear through its title "Black is Beautiful". Ringgold was born in 1930 in Harlem and grew up surrounded by the art, literature and music of the Harlem Renaissance in African American arts. She continued to live there for decades, making art and teaching in a public school. In 1963, the year of the Civil Rights Act, Faith Ringgold began a long series on ordinary racism: American People. It was followed In 1967 by a series of Black Light paintings the slogan “Black is Beautiful”. In the early 70s she gave her political engagement a more concrete form, creating militant posters for the Black Power movement. "I didn’t want people to be able to look and look away. Because a lot of people do that with art. I want them to look and see. I want to grab their eyes and hold them, because this is America.” Faith Ringold Ringgold is perhaps best known for her textile paintings or “tankas” and story quilts. Her first series of a tankas, a Tibetan and Nepalese art form, cast an unflinching look at the legacy of slavery. The quilts are a common form in American folk art, particularly seen as a woman’s art. The 12 quilt series called The French Colection are based on her memories of a stay in France in 1961. They celebrate flourishing African-American art and also pay homage to artists who inspired her. Around central paintings, Ringgold adds multiple texts. "With The French Collection I wanted to show there were Black people when Picasso, Monet, and Matisse were making art. I wanted to show that African art and Black people had a place in that history." After returning from a trip to Africa, Ringgold joined the Black Arts Movement. To counterpoint celebrations of the bicentennial of the Declaration of Independence in 1976, she created a travelling performance show about black Americans' experience of those 200 years, The Wake and Resurrection of the Bicentennial Negro (1976–89) , She took it to universities across the country, involving students in the performances, which featured extracts from Martin Luther King's, "I Have a dream” speech and gospel songs. As well as to continuing to work in textiles and paint, Ringgold has also become a popular children’s book author and illustrator of books with African American protagonists or about figures from black history like HarrietTubman and Rosa Parks. The first retrospective of her work in France, t he exhibition at the Picasso Museum highlights similarities between Ringgold’s work and Picasso’s, especially Les demoiselles d’Avignon and Guernica . https://youtu.be/sjSgISDtC34 Faith Ringgold: Black is Beautiful Musée Picasso Paris From 31 January to 2 July 2023 (tickets half price till 7 March) There's a dossier documentaire with teaching tips you can download This exhibition would be a good addition to the article to Shine Bright 1e File 8 African-American Art, Shine Bright 3e File 6 Move on up, or Shine Bright AMC File 5 Black Lives Matter.
