The FIU Art + Art History Department provides a sanctuary for the development of new visions, ideas and techniques.

Students of Art History will learn the research methodology, theory and criticism necessary for careers in contemporary practice. The interactivity of our Studio Art and Art History programs helps students define their own roles as artists and art historians in today's world. This communal atmosphere encourages artistic camaraderie, engendering trust and a climate conducive to intellectual and aesthetic growth. We provide many opportunities for each student including visiting artist seminars, workshops and study abroad programs.

Join us as Cristina E. Pardo Porto (Cristina Elena Pardo Porto) presents her eight-month fellowship project, Seeing Blue: Photography’s Histories Underwater and Oceanic Caribbean Ecologies. Pardo Porto, 2026 WOPHA Research Fellow, will present her project, followed by a conversation and audience Q&A moderated by Aldeide Delgado (Aldeide Delgado), Founder and Director of WOPHA (WOPHA).

Approaching photography from an oceanic Caribbean perspective, Pardo Porto’s research foregrounds the conditions that shape vision underwater, including light, depth, and movement. Blue emerges not simply as a color but as a physical effect of wavelength absorption, shifting attention toward the environmental and historical processes that determine what can be seen and remembered in images of the Caribbean.

Free and open to the public. Join us Wednesday, October 7th, 1:30-3 PM at FIU Green Library.

This event is presented by Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA), in collaboration with the Department of Art + Art History at Florida International University.

Congratulations to Harumi Abe (Harumi Abe), an FIU MFA graduate, on her solo exhibition Whispers from the Land, opening tonight at the Hollywood Art and Culture Center (Hollywood Art and Culture Center)!

The exhibition marks a new direction in Abe’s practice, expanding her painting into ceramics through imagined Jōmon-period dogū. Rather than reproducing these prehistoric clay figures, Abe creates her own forms as companions within the landscape, appearing in paintings set in her backyard and the Everglades, while ceramic dogū are presented in a ceremonial, altar-inspired installation that brings painting, sculpture, landscape, and ritual together.

Opening reception tonight, September 17th, 6-9 PM. On view through January 17, 2027, at Hollywood Art and Culture Center, 1650 Harrison Street, Hollywood, FL 33020.
