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. 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.

About WOPHA

Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to research, promote, support, and educate on the contributions of women and non-binary photographers to modern and contemporary art in order to rewrite the artistic canon and provoke social change. WOPHA fosters a more diverse and equitable world by providing a permanent archive for future generations that preserves, documents, and promotes women photographers’ work while being a driving force for innovative thinking and discussion about the role of women in photographic arts.

About the Norton Museum of Art

Founded in 1941 by Ralph Hubbard Norton and his wife Elizabeth Calhoun Norton, the Norton Museum of Art houses over 8,200 works across five departments: European, American, Chinese, Contemporary, and Photography. In 2011, the Norton introduced the Recognition of Art by Women (RAW) series, which annually showcases solo exhibitions by living female painters and sculptors. The following year, the museum launched the Rudin Prize for Emerging Photographers, a biennial award for photographers poised on the cutting edge who have yet to receive a solo museum show.

The museum underwent a significant transformation, reopening on February 9, 2019, with the new Kenneth C. Griffin Building, which offers 12,000 square feet of additional gallery space, expanded classrooms, a larger student exhibition area, a 210-seat auditorium, a new store and restaurant, and a Great Hall. The expansion includes a lawn for outdoor events and a sculpture garden. Additionally, the Museum launched an artist-in-residence program. All to better serve the art and the community.
