Sofía Córdova lives and works between her native Puerto Rico and Oakland, California. Her work considers science fiction, climate change, migration, and revolution within the matrix of class, gender, race, late capitalism and its evolving technologies. Córdova works in performance, video, sound, music, installation, photography, and sometimes taxidermy. She is one half of the music duo, XUXA SANTAMARIA, with Matthew Gonzalez Kirkland. Her work has been exhibited and performed nationally and internationally at The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Tufts University Galleries, Boston, Massachusetts; the Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art, Buffalo, New York; the Arizona State University Museum, Tempe, Arizona; the Vincent Price Museum, Los Angeles; SFMOMA, the Wattis Institute, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (all San Francisco); as well as the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, San Juan, Puerto Rico; Art Hub, Shanghai; and MEWO Kunsthalle, Memmingen, Germany. Córdova has participated in residencies at Eyebeam in New York; Headlands Center for the Arts and Mills College Museum in California; and the ASU Museum in Arizona; and choreographed performances for the SF Arts Commission and the Soundwave Biennial in San Francisco, and the Merce Cunningham Trust in New York.
