About the Artist

Nadia Huggins is a self-taught artist working in photography and has built a body of images that is characterized by her observation of an interest in the everyday. Her work merges documentary and conceptual practices, which explore belonging, identity, memory, and ecology through a contemporary approach focused on re-presenting Caribbean landscapes and the sea. 

Huggins’s photographs have been exhibited in group shows in Canada, USA, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados, Ethiopia, Guadeloupe, France, and the Dominican Republic. Solo exhibitions include Coral & Ash, KJCC, NY (2023); Strange Territory, The Betsy Hotel, Miami, FL (2022); and Human stories: Circa no future, Now Gallery, London, UK. Her work is featured in the collections at The National Gallery of Jamaica, Kingston, Jamaica; Art Museum of the Americas, Washington, DC; and The Wedge Collection, Toronto, Canada. Huggins was the 2023 Mellon Fellow in Residence at the Hemispheric Institute of Performance & Politics at New York University.
