Exhibition Highlights Female Photographers and Printmakers. Opening October 16, 2025.
(MIAMI, FL — September 22, 2025) — Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is pleased to present Shadows and Traces: Selections from PAMM’s Collection, opening October 16, 2025. This show draws from PAMM’s archive with a focus on female artists working in the mediums of photography, offering a meditation on memory and the subtle imprints left by lived experience. The title hints at the dual nature of these practices: shadows as echoes captured by the lens of a camera, and traces as the physical marks made visible through printmaking.
Presenting artists are Belkis Ayón, Consuelo Castañeda, Naomi Fisher, María Martínez-Cañas, Ana Mendieta, and Joiri Minaya.
Between staged photographs and intricate print processes, the work of each artist explores how personal and collective histories can be both ephemeral and enduring. The works chart unseen layers of identity, absence, and the emotional landscapes that linger in everyday life. Shadows and Traces is a contemplation on how images and impressions allow us to see the intangible marks of experience, offering a quiet but powerful reflection on the ways these artists document their worlds.
