LaToya Ruby Frazier: Monuments of Solidarity

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.

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 both rarely seen and brand-new bodies of work. An illuminating overview essay by the exhibition’s curator, Roxana Marcoci, is accompanied by a manifesto by the artist and a suite of focused essays by other curators and scholars—Emilie Boone, Carson Chan, Oluremi C. Onabanjo, and Delphine Sims.
