Please join us for this engaging 20-minute Lunchtime Talk featuring the work of LaToya Ruby Frazier. Frazier’s art foregrounds the stories of people who are routinely left out of our standard narratives of the American experience. This month’s Art Talk will focus on four photographs from her series The Notion of Family that are currently on view in the Haggerty’s anniversary exhibition The Big 4-0: New Views of the Collection. Taking herself, her family, and her hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania, as her subjects, Frazier’s images find universal resonance in the meaningful details of everyday circumstances. After the discussion, you can stay to continue the conversation or explore the Haggerty's current exhibitions.
