Dindga McCannonFridman Gallery

Born 1947 in Harlem, NY, USA
Lives and works in Philadelphia, PA, USA

Dindga McCannon, Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth-Warriors, 2021, Acrylic on canvas, 121.9 x 121.9 cm. Courtesy of Fridman Gallery. 

Dindga McCannon studied with Harlem Renaissance artists, including Jacob Lawrence and Charles Alston, at the Art Students League of New York and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. She was a member of the influential African American art collective Weusi and, together with Faith Ringgold, a co-founder of Where We At, the first women’s artist collective in Harlem. 

McCannon’s paintings, mixed-media quilts, and prints expand upon the legacy of African and African American culture and historical memory. Her works often focus on stories of women — iconic public figures, family, and neighbors in Harlem.

McCannon’s work is in the public collections of the Whitney Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, among others. Her work has been included in notable exhibitions, such as We Wanted A Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965-1985 organised by the Brooklyn Museum; and Black Power at the National Civil Rights Museum, Memphis, Tennessee.
