Can you name 5 Women Artists? Follow along this month as we share more of the amazing work by women artists in our collection.

Here LaToya Ruby Frazier presents a modest kitchen interior transformed into a tableau for reimagining family narratives and reinforcing generational bonds. By displaying these pictures on her refrigerator, Frazier’s grandmother Ruby is able to be in the presence of those who are absent from her home. An otherwise everyday scene becomes a place of joy and remembrances, where Ruby may gather loved ones, who now “pose” for her granddaughter’s camera.
