"Any serious monument-builder working on the tough joint tasks of truth-telling and healing, must tackle and resolve, again and again. Frazier is such a builder and, in our present thug-threatened moment, a needed one.--Holland Cotter ""The New York Times: Arts"" Gathering these and other projects, the MoMA survey traces, for the first time in one place, Frazier's journey toward this kind of civic polyphony.--Siddhartha Mitter ""The New York Times: Arts"" Groundbreaking in exploring in depth the lives and situations of working people in places of crisis and in giving space to their voices.--Lyle Rexer ""Photograph"" Monuments of Solidarity' makes the case for this maximalist approach to photograph, one in which the photographer is never just a documenter, but an active agent in the story being investigated.--Veronica Esposito ""Guardian"""

"Frazier works with a militant love for the proletariat; her photos extinguish the images of ignorance and bigotry associated, in the Trump-era and today, with talk of the American working class, and counterprograms her audience with pictures from a solidaristic, woman-led, and multiracial movement.--Ciaran Finlayson ""4Columns"" Any serious monument-builder working on the tough joint tasks of truth-telling and healing, must tackle and resolve, again and again.
