Details:

LaToya Ruby Frazier’s acclaimed installation More Than Conquerors: A Monument for Community Health Workers of Baltimore, Maryland 2021-2022 is the first of a series of exhibitions and projects presented as part of the BMA’s Turn Again to the Earth environmental initiative. Initially created for the 58th Carnegie International, where it won the Carnegie Prize, the installation features a series of portraits and related narratives mounted on 18 socially distanced, stainless-steel IV poles that capture and celebrate the essential work of community health workers in Baltimore during the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine. Powerful and deeply evocative, the large-scale installation monumentalizes the Community Health Workers’ efforts and offers an alternative approach to monument-making that challenges us to consider the nature of how and who we honor.
