Frazier has cultivated a practice that builds on the legacy of the social documentary tradition of the 1930s, the photo-conceptual forays of the 1960s and 1970s, and the work of socially conscious writers such as Upton Sinclair, James Baldwin and bell hooks. \u003ci\u003eMonuments of Solidarity\u003c\/i\u003e 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 denial of fundamental human rights. A form of Black feminist world-building, Frazier's nontraditional \"monuments for workers' thoughts\" 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.\u003cbr\u003ePublished in conjunction with the first comprehensive museum survey dedicated to the artist, \u003ci\u003eMonuments of Solidarity\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaToya Ruby Frazier\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1982 in Braddock, Pennsylvania. Her artistic practice spans a range of mediums, including photography, video, performance, installation art and books, and centers on the nexus of social justice, cultural change and commentary on the American experience. Frazier is the recipient of numerous awards, including a 2015 MacArthur Fellowship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 11.9 x 9.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51763953500448,"sku":"9781633451599","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4284e974747d6106483322fc3b80c983.webp?v=1780242957","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/latoya-ruby-frazier-monuments-of-solidarity-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
