Description

Published by The Museum of Modern Art in 2024, “Monuments of Solidarity” is the first major survey of LaToya Ruby Frazier’s twenty-year career. This volume accompanies a landmark MoMA retrospective, positioning Frazier’s work as an evolving “monument” to the resilience of the American working class. From her early collaborative portraits in Braddock, Pennsylvania, to her documentation of the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and the labor struggles at the GM plant in Lordstown, Ohio, the book examines the intersection of labor, environment, and social justice. Frazier uses her camera to combat the “erasure” of history, elevating the struggles of marginalized communities into a collective record of human dignity. With essays by leading curators and historians, this catalogue provides the definitive context for one of the most vital artistic voices of the 21st century.
