Opening this weekend at the Museum of Modern Art is the first wholistic survey of artist and activist LaToya Ruby Frazier, who was just named as one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2024. Frazier was born in the industrial down of Braddock, Pennsylvania, and travels to working class communities around the country using her art as a form of social documentary, from Flint, to Pittsburgh, to Baltimore. LaToya Ruby Frazier: Monuments of Solidarity is on view at MoMA from May 12 to September 7, and Frazier joins us to preview her exhibition.

Segment aired on May 10, 2024
