In Conversation: 2025 WOPHA Research Fellows
October 2, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us at Green Space Miami to meet our 2025 WOPHA Research Fellows, Shirine Saad and José Antonio Navarrete, for a presentation of their ongoing research projects. Moderated by WOPHA Founder & Director, Aldeide Delgado.
About the fellows
Shirine Saad is a Beirut-born journalist, programmer and DJ focusing on culture and social change. Their fellowship supports their project “Shattering Form as Feminist Photographic Resistance,” exploring photography of contemporary feminist and queer artists from the SWANA region.
José Antonio Navarrete is a Cuban-born independent curator and researcher in visual arts and culture based in Miami, Florida. Their fellowship supports his project “María Teresa de Rojas and Josefina Tarafa: the photographers of El Monte (1954)” shedding light on an unknown chapter in the history of modern Cuban and Caribbean women’s photography.
About the WOPHA Research Fellowship program
The WOPHA Research Fellowship annually supports two emerging or established authors in producing scholarly essays on women and non-binary voices in photography. The program fosters innovative and diverse approaches from critical and historical to speculative and autobiographical. The 2025 fellows were selected through an open call juried by Katy Hundertmark, Managing Editor of Foam Magazine and curator at Foam.
The WOPHA Research Fellowship program is made possible through the support of the Pérez CreARTE Grant Program by The Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation at The Miami Foundation and the Green Family Foundation. Cultural partners are The Betsy Hotel and Green Space Miami.
