About LaToya Ruby Frazier: As an artist-activist, Frazier’s artistic practice spans a range of media, including photography, video, performance, installation art, and books. Frazier uses collaborative storytelling with the people who appear in her artwork to address topics of industrialism, environmental justice, access to healthcare, access to clean water, Workers’ Rights, Human rights, family, and communal history. LaToya spent five months living in Flint, Michigan, documenting the lives of those affected by the city’s water crisis for her photo essay Flint is Family. Frazier’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at institutions in the U.S. and Europe and is held in numerous public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Library of Congress, Washington D.C.; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; and many others.
