Monuments of Solidarity

For over two decades, LaToya artist-activist Ruby Frazier has used photography, text, moving image and performance to revive and preserve forgotten narratives of labour, gender and race in the post-industrial era. Frazier has cultivated a practice that draws on the legacy of the social documentary tradition of the 1930s, the photo-conceptual forays of the 1960s and 1970s, and the work of socially conscious writers such as Upton Sinclair, James Baldwin and Bell hooks.
