SOFÍA CÓRDOVA

In April of 2023, Sofía Córdova, a Puerto Rican artist based in Oakland, California will present in its entirety for the first time the Dawn Chorus trilogy, an epic series of multi-channel video works which simultaneously rediscovers the past’s revolutionary potential, the present’s depredations against the Caribbean, and the future’s cyborgian possibilities in a post-apocalyptic world. A multimedia artist whose work considers sci-fi as alternative history, dance music's liberatory potential, colonial contamination, mystical objects, and world-building within the matrix of class, gender, race, late capitalism and its technologies, Córdova rounds out a series of three exhibitions with a look toward a more wild future.
