LaToya Ruby Frazier argues that photography is a battleground of representation. To change society and fight injustice, says the artist and professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, we must change the picture we have of ourselves and our communities. In this talk, Frazier draws from her book The Notion of Family (2014) and her artistic influences. She shares authentic ways to talk about family, inheritance, and place, and celebrate the inspirational, transformative power of images.
