Adam Pendleton: Ruby Nell Sales is a single-channel video portrait by American artist Adam Pendleton that focuses on civil rights activist and public theologian Ruby Nell Sales. The film centers on Sales, a longtime civil rights organizer and founder of the Spirit House Project, who survived a white supremacist shooting in Alabama in 1965 when seminarian Jonathan Daniels was killed shielding her. Through extended, intimate conversation, the portrait traces her biography, political and spiritual thought, and the communities she serves, treating her voice as both historical document and living philosophy. It has been exhibited internationally and collected by major museums. First widely seen in the Whitney Biennial 2022, Quiet as It’s Kept, the work later anchored Pendleton’s solo exhibition To Divide By at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, and has since entered major museum collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the National Gallery of Canada.
