Join us for “On the Edge of Visibility – An International Symposium”, on October 19-20, 2023, at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, co-presented by AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions and Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA). This symposium highlights Black and Indigenous women1 and non-binary artists, with special focus on photographic practices2 within three broad geographical zones: Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States. It is free and open to the public with registration here.
Offering a transcontinental approach and encompassing postcolonial, feminist, and queer perspectives, this symposium considers the concerns and complexities of what it means to be a Black or Indigenous woman artist within different cultural settings. It also constitutes a reflection on past and current modes of knowledge creation.
By exploring the notions of visibility and invisibility as they relate to visual practices and dominant power structures, this symposium aims to examine proposed strategies of resistance as a means of reclaiming visual agency. It will therefore seek to challenge existing academic boundaries – notably within the history of art and photography – through a multiplicity of voices and perspectives, questioning contemporary discourses and their genealogies, and considering the future of the disciplines.
AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research & Exhibitions is a non-profit organization that works towards making women artists of the 19th and 20th century visible by producing and sharing free bilingual (French/English) content about their work on its website. This online resource presently contains more than 1,000 biographical texts and draws up to 100,000 visits per month. AWARE represents a diversity of voices with texts written by around 450 researchers, curators, feminist art historians, art critics, and activists from all over the world. To widely disseminate research on women artists, AWARE also organizes symposia, round tables, and seminars in collaboration with institutions, universities, museums, and other independent structures internationally, and edits its own publications. AWARE is located at the Villa Vassilieff in Paris, where it has created a research centre entirely devoted to women artists and feminist art, and hosts events, talks and school workshops.
Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by art historian and curator Aldeide Delgado to research, promote, support, and educate on the role of those who identify as women and non-binary in photography. Having begun as a dynamic database showcasing the unique stories of women-identified Cuban photographers, WOPHA has expanded its geographic scope to include photographers from around the globe. The organization is currently documenting the diverse artistic production of Latin American and Latinx communities, including photographers from Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and artists of Latin American descent living and working in the United States.
