This landmark exhibition presents the work of Christina Fernandez, whose photographs and installations explore migration, labor, gender, and Mexican American identity. Bringing together the artist’s most important bodies of work for the first time, Christina Fernandez: Multiple Exposures invites viewers to reconsider history, borders, and the lives that cross and inhabit both.

An artist and educator who has been dedicated to her community for decades, Fernandez employs portrait, conceptual, and architectural photography to address life in East Los Angeles. Her work highlights the experiences of Mexican Americans, from border-spanning family histories to contemporary lavanderías. Fernandez also portrays the realities of being an artist, professor, and mother through series that acknowledge both the beauty and the precarity of a creative life. Spanning over 30 years, the works in Multiple Exposures feature Fernandez’s specific communities and encourage renewed attention to our own.
