Sofía Córdova makes work that considers science-fiction as alternative history, dance music’s liberatory dimensions, colonial contamination, climate change and migration, and most recently, revolution - historical and imagined - within the matrix of class, gender, race, late capitalism and its technologies. She is one half of the music duo, XUXA SANTAMARIA and has exhibited and performed at SFMOMA, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the Berkeley Art Museum, the Arizona State University Museum, the Vincent Price Museum, Art Hub in Shanghai, the Alabama Contemporary Art Center, and the MEWO Kunsthalle in Germany. Córdova’s work is in the permanent collections of the Kadist Foundation in San Francisco, CA/ Paris, FR and Pier 24 Photography, San Francisco, CA. Her work was most recently featured in the Winter 2021 issue of Aperture Magazine which celebrates the dynamic visions of Latinx photography throughout the United States.
