Exploring Family Dynamics and History in LaToya Ruby Frazier's Work

LaToya Ruby Frazier’s series, "The Notion of Family," deeply examines the complexities of family history and memory. Through poignant imagery of her relatives, such as Grandma Ruby and her mother, Frazier addresses the silence surrounding personal and familial narratives. The work highlights the impact of socio-economic issues on marginalized communities while offering a personal lens to understand family struggles and secrets. Frazier's artistic journey reflects on the significance of documentation and the necessity of a visual family history, challenging the systemic neglect faced by her community.
