Get To Know: Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA)

This just in: “WOPHA encourages the exhibition, collection, and active scholarship of works by women photographers, empowering art historians and art curators to share them more frequently with the public. Our activities include the digitization of historical archives, the creation of a center of information and specialized library of books about women photographers, the publication of catalogs and books, the presentation of lectures and workshops, the establishment of artist residencies and fellowships, and the development of online and physical exhibitions. We have a strong focus on historical research- producing rigorous academic content with particular emphasis on 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.”
