A marriage of art and activism, the artists searing photographs reveal the human toll of economic injustice. New York Times
LaToya Ruby Fraziers Flint Is Family in Three Acts chronicles the ongoing manmade water crisis in Flint, Michigan, from the perspective of those who live and fight for their right to access free, clean water.
Featuring photographs, texts, poems and interviews made in collaboration with Flints residents, this five-year body of work, begun in 2016, serves as an intervention and alternative to mass media accounts of this political, economic and racial injustice.
In 2014, as a cost-cutting measure, the Flint City Council switched the towns water supply from a Detroit treatment facility to the industrial-waste-filled Flint RiverForced to use water contaminated with lead at 27 times the governments maximum threshold, Flints citizenspredominantly Black and overwhelmingly poorfell ill almost immediately and many battle chronic medical conditions as a result.
Frazier first traveled to Flint in 2016, as part of a magazine commission to create a photo essay about the water crisisDuring that trip she met Shea Cobb, a Flint poet, activist and mother who became Fraziers collaborator. Divided into three acts, the book follows Cobb as she fights for her familys and communitys health and well-being. Act I introduces Cobb, her family and their community.
Act II follows Cobb and her daughter Zion to Newton, Mississippi, where they move in with Cobbs father, Douglas R. Smiley, and learn to take care of family-owned land and horses. Act III documents the arrival of an atmospheric water generator to Flint that Frazier, Cobb and her best friend, Amber Hasan, helped set up and operate in their neighborhood.
Spurred by the lack of mass-media interest in this ongoing crisis, Fraziers approach ensures that the lives and voices of Flints residents are seen and heardFlint Is Family in Three Acts is a 21st-century survey of the American landscape that reveals the persistent segregation and racism which haunts it. It is also a story of a communitys strength, pride and resilience in the face of a crisis that continues.
LaToya Ruby Frazier was born in 1982 in Braddock, PennsylvaniaHer practice spans photography, video and performance, and centers on the nexus of social justice, cultural change and commentary on the American experience. Her first book, The Notion of Family (2014), received the International Center for Photography Infinity Award, and in 2015 she received a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship.
Frazier is an associate professor of photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and lives in Chicago.
