DESCRIPTION:May 13 - Aug 2\, 2026\nAt 34\, after a career as a classical ba
 llet dancer\, Sophie Rivera (1938–2021) turned to photography and spent 
 the next five decades making charged images of life in New York City. Work
 ing from her apartment in Morningside Heights\, its windows overlooking th
 e elevated subway around 125th Street\, she photographed Puerto Rican neig
 hbors\, public school classrooms\, protests for affordable childcare\, and
  the subway from many perspectives—its passengers\, its graffiti\, its c
 ars passing outside her window. Rivera learned her craft from Lisette Mode
 l\, worked as a photojournalist for the leftist Liberation News Service\, 
 and was one of the few women associated with En Foco\, the Bronx-based pho
 tography collective of the Nuyorican Movement. Her Latino Portrait series 
 was later displayed in the New York City subway—bringing\, in her words\
 , “portraits of people like themselves” to the public. El Museo del Ba
 rrio\, where Rivera held her first solo show in the 1980s\, is now giving 
 her the retrospective she never received during her lifetime.
