Sofía Córdova is a Puerto Rican mixed- media artist based in Oakland, California.

Córdova makes work that considers sci-fi as alternative history, dance music’s liberatory dimensions, colonial contamination, climate change and migration, and most recently, revolution – historical and imagined – within the matrix of class, gender, race, late capitalism and its technologies.

Córdova works in performance, video, sound, music, installation, photography, and sometimes taxidermy.

Córdova is also one half of the music duo and experimental sound outfit XUXA SANTAMARIA

Her work has been exhibited and performed internationally at Tufts University Galleries, SFMOMA, the Arizona State University Museum, The Berkeley Art Museum, the Vincent Price Museum, the Wattis Institute, YBCA (USA), Art Hub (Shanghai) and MEWO Kunsthalle (Germany). The same is part of Pier 24’s and The Kadist’s permanent collections. She has recently participated in residencies at Eyebeam, New York, Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, Mills College Museum, Oakland, and the ASU Museum in Phoenix and composed and choreographed performances for the SF Arts Commission, Merce Cunningham Trust and Soundwave Biennial.

She is a recipient of a Creative Work Fund and has been the subject of a First Look feature in Art in America. Her work was recently featured in Aperture Magazine and formed part of the exhibition no existe un mundo posthuracán: Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
