LaToya Ruby Frazier: Using Photography for Social Change | February 12, 2023

On February 12, 2023 LaToya Ruby Frazier joined the Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas in conversation here at Trinity Commons to discuss the transformative power of art. Enjoy three thought-provoking excerpts from that conversation. “Photography as Visual Justice” – 0:05 “When is Justice Served by Not Taking a Photo?” – 3:54 “I’m More Than a Photographer” – 7:25 ➡️ Learn more about our Trinity Talks series and register to hear Maya Lin (online or in person) on March 19 at https://trinitywallstreet.org/trinity.... LaToya Ruby Frazier’s work depicts the stark reality of today’s America: post-industrial cities riven by poverty, racism, healthcare inequality, and environmental toxicity. By featuring voices and perspectives traditionally erased from the American narrative, MacArthur “Genius” Frazier not only captures our cultural blind spots—she teaches us how art is a powerful tool for making change.
