Thank you for joining in an immersive Photowalk in the Everglades National Park to connect with nature after a packed Miami Art Week.
Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA), in partnership with Artist in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE), presented Photowalks in the Everglades, an immersive, bilingual, photography-based walking workshop led by women photographers Clara Toro and Lisette Morales McCabe.
During the morning session, participants learned tips and techniques from these experienced photographers and build visual literacy skills by sharing their photographs and comments on Instagram with the hashtags #photowalksatEverglades.
