Family Portrait

In “The Notion of Family,” LaToya Ruby Frazier alternates photographs of her mother and grandmother at home with images of her hometown, Braddock, Pennsylvania. Some are photographs she began taking in her early twenties. Some recall her childhood memories. “Family” as Frazier presents it, means not only relatives but also protestors demonstrating for better healthcare and rows of apartment complexes in which other households struggle to live in this post-industrial town.
