About the Exhibition

No Looking Back brings together scenes and subjects in the midst of an epic journey. From the collection of Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz, the photo-based works shuttle viewers between dramatic heroines and eerily vacant settings, generating both intentional and fortuitous storylines between the disparate works.

About the WOPHA Congress

The WOPHA Congress is a creative convening and exhibition series held at the Pérez Art Museum Miami and virtually, with parallel activations taking place across South Florida from October 23 – 26, 2024. It aims to establish a critical space for photography by bringing together worldwide organizations of women photographers, art historians, theorists, and curators with a goal to enrich and more accurately represent the dynamic history of women photographers from the nineteenth century to the present day. This event showcases both seminal and emerging research and discourse in the field, encompassing national and international discussions on women and feminisms in the history of photography. Additionally, it serves as a platform to celebrate women and foster an unparalleled network for the international community of women in the photographic arts.
