Affective Archives – 2026 WOPHA Exhibition

Affective Archives, curated by Amanda Morgan, featuring Miami-based photographers RemiJin Camping, Christine Cortes, and Alicia Vera.

Resulting from an open call juried by guest curator Amanda Morgan, Associate Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, the exhibition places three artists with formally distinct yet conceptually analogous works in dialogue around themes of family and intergenerational relations. In these series, each artist revisits personal histories to reimagine the familial archive, creating works that are both poignant and relatable.

RemiJin Camping’s A Mother’s Love catalogues a lifetime of accumulated items gifted by her late mother, producing a moving portrait of familial bonds and the legacies we leave behind. Christine Cortes’s Divinidades Atrevidas looks at landscape to produce an archive of place layered with memory, time, and generational ties. Prompted by her mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, Alicia Vera’s Va a Llover Toda La Noche weaves together photographs, notes, and ephemera—moving between past and present—to reflect on the complicated and evolving intricacies of the mother-daughter relationship and its impact on one’s sense of identity.

With these works, the artists look to the past to facilitate introspection, build their own truths, and move forward with greater clarity.
