This exhibition was made possible through generous funding from the James L. Knight Foundation and Miami-Dade Cultural Affairs in connection with the Vasari Project archive and to support the Miami Art Timeline project.
Women’s Voices: New Perspectives in the Archive is the second of a two-part exhibition curated by Anita Sharma, founder of WAAM. This exhibition unites the distinct voices and artistic vision of artists who have participated in WAAM since its inception and features a range of artistic mediums, including photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, fiber practice, and mixed media works, offering viewers an understanding of the innovative approaches and thematic connections. To learn more about these artists visit the online archive at wearewaam.org or visit the Vasari Project archive at the Main Library downtown, where the first of this two-part exhibition, Women’s Voices: A Journey Through Miami’s Art History, further explores this rich history.
About the Vasari Project:
The Vasari Project is a library collection at Main Library dedicated to documenting, collecting, and preserving Miami-Dade County's art history from 1945 to the present. It is a living archive that grows through contributions from artists, art professionals, exhibition spaces, galleries, institutions, and private donors.
The Vasari Project is a resource for ongoing research, scholarship, publications, artists' projects, exhibitions, and events. The archive collects documentation rather than original works of art composed primarily of printed matter: correspondence, press clippings, photographs, posters, books, exhibition catalogs, artists' files, oral histories, and other ephemeral materials.
About the Division of Special Collections & Archives:
Miami-Dade Public Library System’s Division of Special Collections & Archives is located at the Main Library and holds rare and irreplaceable historical materials for the benefit of the public and scholarly community. They oversee the Helen Muir Florida Collection, 16mm Film Collection, Cuban Collection of Rare Books & Ephemera, Genealogy Collection, Vasari Project archive, and Rare & Antiquarian books from as early as the 17th century. The Division aims to provide the public with the contents of these collections at their request, which include books, original manuscripts, over 18,000 photographs, prints, artifacts, audiovisual resources, and electronic media.
