The Photo Museum at the Vrijthof in Maastricht, the Netherlands, presents until February 2, 2025 a retrospective exhibition of the American documentary photographer Joseph Rodriguez.
The exhibition ‘We’re all People’ features 75 photos of mostly marginalized groups of people and their daily struggles. The images were taken in the 80s and 90s, primarily in New York and Los Angeles.
As a taxi driver from 1977 to 1987, Rodriguez captured the thrilling life of New York from his cab. In his hometown, he also represented the Latino residents of the Spanish Quarter of Harlem in the 1980s. The Juvenile series shows young offenders and people involved in the justice system. In East Los Angeles, the photographer put a human face on gang members, and in the same city he followed police officers at work in 1994, just after the Rodney King riots.
