STRANGE TERRITORY
2022 WOPHA Artist in Residence Nadia Huggins
Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA) presents the solo exhibition Strange Territory by 2022 WOPHA Artist in Residence Nadia Huggins at The Betsy Hotel.
Organized by WOPHA Founder & Director Aldeide Delgado, Strange Territory includes a series of old and new works that connects two places, the Caribbean region and its diaspora in Miami, through ideas of ecology, catastrophe, and magic while reframing the representation of Caribbean bodies in natural environments.
Nadia Huggins challenges people’s notion of nostalgia for a place that only exists in our imaginations. Photographs in the exhibition invite us to reimagine an evolving species adapting to the geological and ecological changes happening on the planet. They investigate how the concept of hybridity can move beyond a solely human experience by exploring the potential agency of non-human species and the environment as a whole system shaping our future world.
Nadia Huggins was a two-time artist in residence in The Betsy Writers Room in 2022, and her work is exhibited at The Betsy in partnership with WOPHA - the Women Photographers International Archive, founded by Aldeide Delgado.
