Fotomuseum aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht, the Netherlands, presents a retrospective exhibition of the American documentary photographer Joseph Rodriguez until February 2, 2025.
The exhibition ‘We’re all People’ shows 75 photos of mostly marginalized groups of people and their struggles in everyday life. The images were taken in the 80s and 90s, mainly in New York City and Los Angeles.
As a taxi driver from 1977 to 1987, Rodriguez captured the pulsating life of New York from his cab. In his hometown, he also portrayed the Latin American residents of the Spanish Harlem district in the 1980s. The Juvenile series shows young offenders and those involved in the legal system. In East Los Angeles the photographer gave gang members a human face, and in the same city he followed police officers at work in 1994, just after the Rodney King riots.
