In this episode, I sit down with LaToya Ruby Frazier, a visionary artist whose work intersects social justice, cultural change, and the American experience. Recognized as one of Time 100's most influential people of 2024, LaToya shares insights into her groundbreaking practice, which blends photography, video, performance, and installation to amplify voices often excluded from dominant narratives.
We explore the inspiration and meticulous process behind her latest installation, More Than Conquerors, currently on view at the Baltimore Museum of Art. LaToya discusses the vital role of community health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the systemic injustices they face, and the significance of honoring these unsung heroes through art.
From her reflections on growing up in a steel town to her commitment to bridging the working class and creative sectors, LaToya offers a powerful perspective on the intersection of art and activism. Whether you're interested in socially engaged art, health equity, or the power of storytelling, this episode delivers an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation. Tune in to hear LaToya’s vision for transformative, community-centered art.
