Faith Ringgold at Serpentine Gallery 7/6/19

Amazing show.  I love political work that shows a narrative from someone's ordinary life.

American people series.

Interestingly, on my phone camera, the face recognition only worked on the white face in this image. In other photos, black faces were recognised by the camera, but only if there were two obvious eyes. White faces were recognised in profile when only one eye showed.  Does this indicate it is a white person who programmed the face recognition?
