Drawing from an archive of formerly secret files, Christopher Gregory-Rivera’s series “El Gobierno Te Odia” (The government hates you, 2023) examines how Puerto Rican independence activists were surveilled for decades.
Featured in Aperture’s spring 2024 issue, “Counter Histories,” produced in partnership with Magnum Foundation, which showcases the work of a range of international photographers who explore the creative possibilities offered by the gaps, absences, and silences in historical records.
