Wawi Navarroza is a renowned Filipina lens-based artist known for her large format photographic tableaus and self-portraits. Informed by post-colonial dialogue and globalization, Navarroza employs her corporeal form as an artistic medium. Her in-studio collages serve as a testament to the various facets and stages of the women’s narrative, portraying woman as creator. She is the recipient of the Asian Cultural Council Fellowship Grant New York and Lucas Artists Fellowship Award for Visual Arts San Francisco. Her work has been exhibited in museums internationally, and in galleries in Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Cambodia, London, Spain, and Italy.
