April M. Frazier is an artist and photographer from Houston, Texas. She is a graduate of Prairie View A&M University and Rice University. She formerly spent 15 years in technology oil and gas and is now the Assistant Director of the Community Artists’ Collective. April’s most prized and ongoing photographic work involves research and documentation of her ancestral roots in Texas through the creation of imagery on lands with familial connection from the time of enslavement to present day. Her exhibition, Frame of Reference, was a culmination of this work and received national acclaim from its initial showing at the Houston Museum of African American Culture with additional displays across the United States and abroad. April enjoys contributing to research projects that broaden access to diverse historical narratives such as partnering with Getty Images to launch their Black History and Culture Collection, working with Rice University on their SlaveVoyages Redesign Project, and contributing writing to the critical anthology, Racial Discourse in American Literature.
