The Betsy Writer’s Room was a founding partner to WOPHA during its inaugural conference year - 2021 - awarding two residencies to Nadia Huggins, a photographer from Trinidad/Tobago, whose work was also exhibited at The Betsy Hotel in a collection called ‘Strange Territory’.
Strange Territory included a series of works that connect the Caribbean region and its diaspora in Miami, through ideas of ecology, catastrophe, and magic while reframing the representation of Caribbean bodies in natural environments.
