For nearly six decades, artist Howardena Pindell has explored and expanded the language of abstraction while struggling against a racist and misogynistic culture. Fascinated by circles and numbers, Pindell has developed a formal language that speaks to both universal and personal experiences through her paintings and paper works. In this film, Pindell reflects on formative childhood memories, her confrontations with systemic prejudice, and the enduring joy she finds in being an artist.
