LaToya Ruby Frazier's work challenges existing narratives, showcasing the labor and resilience of community health workers, particularly in underserved areas affected by systemic inequalities.
The installation's use of stainless-steel IV poles, positioned at socially distant intervals, symbolizes both the clinical and communal aspects of healthcare, merging personal stories with stark reality.
By capturing the words and images of people from marginalized backgrounds, Frazier's work provides a platform for voices that are often silenced, reinforcing the idea of visual justice.
More Than Conquerors serves as a collective testimony and a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for health equity, shedding light on the vital role of community health workers.
