This winter, Aperture magazine presents an issue that celebrates
the dynamic visions of Latinx photography across the United States.
Guest edited by Pilar Tompkins Rivas, chief curator at the Lucas
Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, “Latinx” spans a
century of image making, connecting historical and contemporary
photography, and covering the themes of political resistance,
family and community, fashion and culture, and the complexity of
identity in American life. In “Latinx,” Carribean Fragoza
traces Laura Aguilar’s influence on queer artmaking. Joiri Minaya
remixes postcards from the Dominican Republic to unveil the fantasy
of tourism. Christina Catherine Martinez profiles Reynaldo Rivera,
who chronicled 1990s-era Los Angeles nightlife. Yxta Maya Murry
considers three Latina curators and writers influencing how
photography canons are made today. “Collectively, their images
cast a greater net for the multiple ways of seeing Latinx
people,” Tompkins Rivas notes of the issue’s photographers,
“creating a visual archive whose edges are yet to be defined.”
