Sophie Rivera
Sophie Rivera's Latino Portrait series helped redefine Puerto Rican identity in 1970s New York, part of a broader body of street photography, cityscapes, graffiti-art images, and experimental self-portraits that positioned her within feminist and political currents in American photography. Sophie Rivera: Double Exposures, co-published by Aperture and El Museo del Barrio, is the first comprehensive monograph on the artist, published to coincide with her first museum survey at El Museo del Barrio. Entirely bilingual in English and Spanish, the volume includes more than 125 photographs, contact sheets, and selections from Rivera's own writings, alongside newly commissioned essays by Susanna V. Temkin, Deanna Ledezma, and Elisabeth Sherman and a chronology by Serda Yalkin.
