LaToya Ruby Frazier: Monuments of Solidarity | Edited by: Roxana Marcoci

Published in conjunction with the first comprehensive museum survey dedicated to the artist, LaToya Ruby Frazier: Monuments of Solidarity presents the full range of her practice and includes rarely seen and brand-new bodies of work.

For more than two decades, the artist-activist LaToya Ruby Frazier has used photography, text, moving images, and performance to revive and preserve forgotten narratives of labor, gender, and race in the postindustrial era. Monuments of Solidarity celebrates the creativity and collaboration that persist in the face of industrialization and deindustrialization, racial and environmental injustice, gender disparities, unequal access to health care and clean water, and the erosion or denial of fundamental human rights. A form of Black feminist world-building, Frazier's nontraditional "monuments" demand recognition of the crucial role that women and people of color have played, and continue to play, in histories of labor and the working class.
