Description
LaToya Ruby Frazier's Monuments of Solidarity is a powerful collection of photographs and writings that explore the social and political struggles of Black working-class communities. Over two decades, 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. This book presents a comprehensive overview of Frazier's practice, including rarely seen and brand-new bodies of work. It is accompanied by an illuminating essay by curator Roxana Marcoci, as well as a manifesto by the artist and focused essays by other curators and scholars. The result is a form of Black feminist world-building that demands recognition of the crucial role that women and people of color have played in histories of labor and the working class. Published in conjunction with the first comprehensive museum survey dedicated to Frazier, Monuments of Solidarity offers a unique insight into her creative process and the social and political issues she addresses.
