The Afterlives of Ismael Rivera: A Visual Guide to the Heart Legados de Ismael Rivera: Una Guía Visual al Corazón

RCAH and AFRO-LATINX LAB PRESENT:
The Afterlives of Ismael Rivera: A Visual Guide to the Heart
Legados de Ismael Rivera: Una Guía Visual al Corazón
Photographs by Christopher López

Exhibit Open: February 18–March 25, 2022

The Afterlives of Ismael Rivera: A Visual Guide to the Heart / Legados de Ismael Rivera: Una Guía Visual al Corazón is an exhibition of photographs by Bronx-born photographer Christopher López. These images are based on the songs of Afro-Puerto Rican musician Ismael Rivera. While this series remains largely
incomplete, these images capture fragments of time—like Rivera’s lyrics themselves—that offer a
symbology of a people (Puerto Ricans) whose identities are found in constant flux.
