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 like Upton Sinclair, James Baldwin, and bell hooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMonuments of Solidarity\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates the creativity and collaboration that persist in the face of industrialisation and deindustrialisation, 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 colour have played, and continue to play, in histories of labour and the working class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in conjunction with the first comprehensive museum survey dedicated to the artist, \u003cem\u003eLaToya Ruby Frazier: Monuments of Solidarity\u003c\/em\u003e presents the full range of her practice and includes both rarely seen and brand-new bodies of work.
