WAAM is a vibrant nomadic hub for Miami's women and non-binary artists. We honor their legacies, champion their work, and cultivate a supportive community. Our mission is to amplify diverse voices and foster connections through art. Join us in celebrating the rich tapestry of artistic public history and expression in our city.
What We Do
WAAM began in 2017 as a research project to understand how a community archive can serve women artists in documenting their creative legacies in truly accessible and equitable ways.
WAAM documents and preserves artists' archives by organizing physical exhibitions, digitizing artists' studio archives, and crowdsourcing collections.
The project is a response to a growing need to build a collaborative archival presence in Miami to record the artistic production that has occurred here since the 1970s and beyond.
We believe in the importance of repositioning archives that have traditionally operated as sites of privilege, to record the creative contributions of communities left out of the historical record.
WAAM envisions an art world where the legacies of women and gender-expansive artists from all backgrounds are visible, celebrated, and prioritized.
Rooted in decolonial principles, WAAM is a Miami-based nomadic archival platform dedicated to preserving, documenting and bringing these histories to the forefront.
