Genesis Báez, Joiri Minaya, and Steven Molina Contreras in Conversation

In a series of online public programs that accompany the winter issue of Aperture magazine, “Latinx,” photographers, historians, and writers reflect on imagery that celebrates the dynamic visions of Latinx people across the United States.

Join Aperture for a panel discussion that brings together three photographers whose practices investigate their identities: Genesis Báez’s intimate portraits show diasporic communities of Puerto Rican women in the Northeastern US; Joiri Minaya’s constructed collages explore the concept of opacity; and Steven Molina Contreras tenderly photographs his family both in the US and his native El Salvador.

This discussion will be moderated by writer Karla Cornejo Villavicencio.
