Revolutions Keynote Address: LaToya Ruby Frazier
November 17, 2016, 7:00 PM
Free
For LaToya Ruby Frazier, winner of a 2015 MacArthur “genius grant,” art is a weapon — a catalyst for social justice. Her photographs and videos document today’s America: post-industrial cities riven by poverty, racism, health-care inequality, and environmental toxicity. Bridging the personal with the social, her gorgeous and haunting shots amplify the voices of the most vulnerable and transform our sense of place and self.
Frazier’s visit to campus, part of Colby’s Artist-in-Residence Series, is cosponsored by the Center for the Arts and Humanities, Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement, Colby College Libraries, Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights, Pugh Center, Colby Museum of Art, American Studies Program, Art Department, Environmental Studies Program, and the Office of the President with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
