Join the MSU Broad Art Museum and HIVES for a conversation on
disabled ecologies, what disability and animal rights Activist Sunaura Taylor defines as: "the webs of
disability that are created spatially, temporally, and across species boundaries
when ecosystems are contaminated, depleted, and profoundly altered.” HIVES is
an ongoing scholarly, artistic, and communal organization dedicated to
developing an understanding of the ways in which matter and beings function in
interdependent networks. This year HIVES is thinking about water justice as it
flows into conversations on disability, madness, and
neurodivergence.
This event is held in conjunction with the exhibition
LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint is Family in Three Acts that brings together photographs from five years of research and
collaboration between LaToya Ruby Frazier and two poets, activists, mothers and
residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan. Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) was developed by Frazier to
advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race,
religion and economic status.
The Acts in LaToya Ruby Frazier:
Flint is Family in Three Acts are being shown across three venues: Stamps Gallery (Act III) at University of Michigan, the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at
Michigan State University (Act II), and Flint Institute of Arts (Act I), for the first time in Michigan and the U.S.
LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint is Family in Three Acts is on view at Stamps Gallery from September 3, 2022 – January 14, 2023. For a complete list of public programs visit: https://stamps.umich.edu/events/latoya-ruby-frazier-flint-is-family-in-three-acts.
