Christopher Gregory-Rivera

Christopher Gregory Rivera is a Puerto Rican artist based in New York City. His work interrogates how photography shapes culture, memory, and political understanding, exploiting its evidentiary qualities to question how truth is constructed and visualized. Through a practice that spans documentary, still life, and archival inquiry, he rescues, deconstructs, and reconfigures historic narratives to better understand the present and imagine alternative futures. His project “Las Carpetas” reimagines political memory in Puerto Rico by rescuing, photographing and appropriating archives from a secret police division dedicated to political persecution in the US Territory
