LaToya Ruby Frazier's work is just so deep and engaging. I hope we get a show in the UK some day. The Handsworth Self-Portrait project is a lovely example of a number of socially engaged and collaborative projects that were going on in the UK at that time. Have you seen Daniel Meadows' work? He drove round the UK from the early '70s onwards in a converted double decker bus doing something similar but around the country, not one neighbourhood. It was called The Free Photographic Omnibus: https://www.danielmeadows.co.uk/gallery/photographs/portraits-from-the-free-photographic-omnibus-1973-1974
Another very, very engaging post. I had just heard about LaToya Ruby Frazier's new MOMA show, Monuments of Solidarity, just a day or so ago. Your post brought me much deeper into her impressive work and career. Thank you! (And thanks for the other interesting links. I looked through everything this week!)

I wasn't familiar with Meadows work, thanks so much for sharing. What a great record of a specific place and time. Love it.

Thanks as always for reading. And for the reminder that we need to get coffee or lunch soon.
Wow, absolutely love that self-portrait project. Fantastic images. Thanks for sharing it!
