ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
Harumi Abe
Harumi Abe is a Japanese-born artist whose work explores themes of garden, utopia, ideas about home, time, and the sublime. Raised in Tokorozawa, Japan, Abe has lived in South Florida for over two decades, drawing inspiration from both her native landscape and the vibrant ecosystems of her adopted home.
Abe has exhibited her work extensively throughout her career, with recent solo shows at Terzo Piano in Washington D.C., the Walgreen windows project by Oolite Arts, and AIRIE Nest in the Everglades National Park. Her art is collected by prominent institutions and private collectors alike, including the de la Cruz Collection, the Girls Club Collection, the Liza and Arturo Mosquera Collection, and others.
Abe has been recognized for her contributions to the arts with numerous awards, including the South Florida Cultural Consortium grant (2008, 2021) and the Sustainable Arts Foundation award (2022). She has also participated in residencies at the South Florida Art Center (Oolite Arts), Vermont Studio Center, Everglades Artist and Residence Program, and Dickinson House Residency in Belgium. She holds an MFA from Florida International University and has taught art at various South Florida colleges and Savannah College of Art and Design.
Today, Abe continues to create from her home studio in Hollywood, Florida,
where she draws inspiration from the ever-changing beauty of her surroundings.
Nadia Wolff
Nadia Wolff is a Haitian-american queer interdisciplinary artist born and raised in Miami. They work with film, installation, textiles, performance, mixed media, and poetry to process connections to place, memory, and embodied knowledge. Wolff’s artistic process spans across disciplines, thus demonstrating the syncretic nature of the themes they explore.
Wolff’s practice investigates how mourning, ancestral connection, cultural loss, and self-making intersect and inform our understanding of home, landscape, and identity. Their process is informed by Black feminist and diasporic theory, with a focus on Black Caribbean aesthetics and spirituality approached through a lens of intimacy.
Wolff is a 2024 Locust Projects Wavemaker Fellow; a 2024 Third Horizon Forward Film Fellow; and a 2023 ChaNorth Young Artist Fellow. They are also a recipient of the Miami-Dade Individual Artist Grant; the Ellie’s Creators Grant; the Innovate Art Grant; the Little Haiti Local Love Letters film grant; the Rhode Island State Council of the Arts grant; and the Preston Gurney Prize for Cultural Criticism. Wolff studied Textile Design and Literary Arts/Africana Studies in the Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design Dual Degree Program.
