Body (re)figured as home

“The body can be reclaimed and refigured as home—that desired place of connectedness, family, and well-being—with full realization that the body/home is sometimes the site of exposure to just the opposite: abuse, hunger, polluted water and air” (Di Chiro 2010, 200).

LaToya Ruby Frazier

Photographers often find themselves the silent observer of their subjects, looking for the best lighting and angles and emotions to tell the story. But LaToya Ruby Frazier's photographs—sometimes striking, other times warm and gentle—are so personal and intimate as if they had come from a family photo album. Frazier, although working behind the lens, lends a voice to those captured in her photos, from residents of Flint, Michigan to family of her own. She's as much a part of them as we the viewers are, and their issues and struggles become our own.

❤🎨👏🏿🇰🇪#ArtIsAWeapon #WCW #NewExhibit The brilliant #artist @wangechistudio #WangechiMutu is featured in @wmag, ✍🏿 by @evemacsweeney, 📸 by #LaToyaRubyFrazier (swipe ⬅️). Wangechi is the first artist chosen to create #sculptures for @themetmuseum 's Fifth Avenue façade niches, the first-ever such installation on the Museum's historic exterior. "Wangechi Muti: The NewOnes, will free us" will be unveiled September 9, 2019, and be on view through January 12, 2020. Excerpt from www.wmagazine.com: How Kenyan-Born Artist Wangechi Mutu Is Taking Over the Met. It could be a high-concept movie: The aliens are coming, and they’ll be landing on that bastion of Western civilization, New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art—on September 9, to be precise. Four six-and-a-half-to-seven-foot-tall bronze female figures—part African queens, part cyborgs—will take up position in the building’s exterior niches facing Fifth Avenue that have stood empty for more than 100 years. The sculptures are the work of the Kenyan-born artist Wangechi Mutu, and this homecoming, if you can call it that, carries all manner of poignant historical, political, and redemptive narratives along with it. An institution founded on the appropriation of antiquities and a Eurocentric view of culture is being turned on its head. #wangechimutu #metmuseum #artlovers #africanamericanartist #AfricanArtists #AfricanArt #BlackArtists #BlackArt #BlackGirlArtGeeks🤓 #ArtAndTheCity #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ADYSZlggn/?igshid=1fgzxtld3cffr

The work of the great Barkley Hendricks was such an inspiration to so many of us. My portrait of LaToya Ruby Frazier taken in 2012 at the Carnegie Library in Braddock PA, was very much informed by his seminal painting "Lawdy Mama" that beautiful image of young black women with a large afro as kind of saint. For me I saw LaToya like the patron saint of Braddock. Through her community her photographs portrayed systemic problems from racism to environmental degradation. Though Hendricks said that the sitter was a cousin to many viewers the subject would be identified as Angela Davis or Kathleen Cleaver, the latter another influence on my portrait of LaToya. Hendricks was brilliant in the way he monumentalized everyday people and everyday moments.

#Repost @hankwillisthomas (@get_repost) ・・・ A couple months ago @departuresmag featured @ericgottesman and I️ from @forfreedoms in a portfolio about artists as activists. It featured @favianna1 @dreadscottart @zoebuckman & @nataliegwenfrank @trevorpaglen (GENIUS) @justinbriceguariglia @cauleen_smith #latoyarubyfrazier (GENIUS) #occupymuseums . I️ appreciate the attempts by the media highlight more of our work. We need it more. I️ believe all artists art activists. ALL ART IS POLITICAL. The beauty of art is that we don’t all agree, and we use different forms and methods to make our statements. The question of the day is what does Creative Patriotism look like? Creative people are best suited to solve the problems of now and build a better future. It’s an all hands on deck job. I hope every newspaper magazine and website feature more artists and designers who are willing to speak up for what they believe, whether or not the work looks political the artist is making a statement. We also need museums and galleries to spread the word. Even when it’s raining on us, the sun is always shining somewhere. 📷 @dustinaksland thanks @jsancton ! @amplifierart

This may or may not have been a drunk online purchase but I’m glad I FINALLY have my own copy of this amazing and powerful work. A beautiful example of using your own story to contribute to where contemporary social documentary photography is. #latoyarubyfrazier is one of my heroes in art today. #photobooks.

LaToya Ruby Frazier says she was “called to serve between the working class and the creative class” ... hers is “social, personal, documentary work that is lifelong.” • this is—shockingly—her first solo gallery show in the US and it rightly fills three floors, each with a different series • here are three works from Flint Is Family 2016/2017 • #LaToyaRubyFrazier #photography (at Gavin Brown's enterprise)

This article provides context about who Frazier is and what she has accomplished.

In honor of the recent announcement of the 2017 MacArthur Genius Grant Awardees, we are sharing LaToya Ruby Frazier's "Flint Is Family" project.  Flint is a visual project that explores the impact of the Flint, Michigan water crisis on three generations of black women. Frazier spent 5 months chronicling the lives of Shea Cobb, her 9-year-old daughter Zion, and her mother Renée as they endured what Elle Magazine's Mattie Kahn and others have called, "the worst man-made environmental catastrophes in recent national memory (August 8, 2016)." This project, done in collaboration with Elle magazine, was Frazier's first project after receiving the MacArthur Genius Grant in 2015.
