Screening | The Sojourner Truth Film Festival

In 1976, an extraordinary group of Black feminist artists and activists—Faith Ringgold, Michele Wallace, Patricia Spears Jones, Margo Jefferson, and Monica Freeman—co-organized the first ever Black women’s film festival: the Sojourner Truth Festival of the Arts. In conjunction with Faith Ringgold: American People, we are celebrating this milestone festival with a day of special screenings of rarely shown films by and about Black women.

Tickets include museum admission on the day of the Festival. See all three screenings for $19 per person ($10 for MCA Members)! Discount will reflect when you have all screenings in your cart.
