Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) presents a landmark exhibition surveying the work of Christina Fernandez from Sept. 16, 2023 through Jan. 7, 2024. The crucially important Los Angelesbased artist has spent 30 years in a rich exploration of migration, labor, gender, her Mexican American identity and the unique capacities of the photographic medium itself. Selections from her life’s work were brought together by Joanna Szupinska, senior curator at the California Museum of Photography, as the exhibition “Christina Fernandez: Multiple Exposures.”

“Over the years, and through a variety of photographic genres, Fernandez returns to central concerns like labor, womanhood and what it means to be an artist and teacher,” Szupinska said. “These manifest as both portraits and cityscapes or landscapes and together stand to inspire the viewer to contemplate multiplicities of identity in the context of our daily lives.”
