Mit 176 Fotos. In englischer Sprache. Frazier first traveled to Flint in 2016, as part of a magazine commission to create a photo essay about the water crisis. During that trip she met Shea Cobb, a Flint poet, activist and mother who became Frazier's collaborator in what would evolve into a five-year body of work. Divided into three acts, "Flint is Family" follows Cobb as she fights for her family's and community's health and wellbeing.
Act I introduces Cobb, her family and The Sister Tour, a collective of women artists. Act II follows Cobb and Zion to Newton, Mississippi, where they move in with Cobb's father, Douglas R. Smiley. Act III documents the arrival of a 26,000-pound atmospheric water generator to Flint in 2019 that Frazier, Cobb and her best friend Amber Hasan-a hip-hop artist, herbalist and community organizer- helped set up and operate in their neighborhood.
