LaToya Ruby Frazier will be at Miami University’s Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum Feb. 29 at 3 p.m. to present her 2016 documentary “Flint is Family” and talk about her work. The film is on display now in the museum’s exhibit “The World in Which We Live: the Art of Environmental Awareness.”
Frazier is a visual artist from Braddock, Pennsylvania who works primarily in photography. She is a MacArthur Fellow, a TED Fellow and the recipient of multiple honorary doctorate degrees. Her work is in more than 20 collections worldwide.
The project, which includes photographs along with the short film, is about the five months Frazier spent documenting Flint, Michigan’s water crisis.
Frazier’s early work documents her experience with environmental racism in her hometown.
