Nadia Huggins (b. 1984, Trinidad and Tobago, based in St Vincent and the Grenadines) is a multidisciplinary contemporary artist. Using photography, video and installation, her work merges documentary and conceptual practices which centre Caribbean land and seascapes to explore the human and more-than-human everyday, temporality and ecologies at different scales, memory and transformation.
Her most recent work has been featured in commissioned installations and international photography and visual arts exhibits. The installations include Otras Montañas, las que andan sueltas bajo el agua at Ocean Space, Venice, Italy (2025); Caribe por venir, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico, San Juan, Puerto Rico (2025) and Prospect. 6: The future is present, the harbinger is home, held in New Orleans, US (2024). Her solo exhibitions include Coral & Ash at KJCC, NYU, New York City, US (2023); Strange Territory, at The Betsy Hotel, Miami, US, in collaboration with WOPHA (2021); and Human stories: Circa no future, at Now Gallery, London, UK (2019). Nadia’s photographs have also been exhibited in several group shows, including the 2024 Kingston Biennial: Green x Gold, National Gallery of Jamaica, Kingston (2024); RE/SISTERS, The Barbican Art Gallery, London, UK (2023); De montanãs submarinas, el fuego hace islas, Pivô, São Paulo, Brazil (2022); Fragments of Epic Memory, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada (2021); and Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago, Museum of Latin American Art, California, US (2017).
Her photography work forms part of The Wedge Collection (Toronto, Canada), The National Gallery of Jamaica (Kingston Jamaica), and The Art Museum of the Americas (Washington DC, US). She was awarded the Jury prize at the Festival Caribeen de l'image du Mémorial ACTe, Guadeloupe (2015) and was the 2023 Mellon Fellow in Residence at the Hemispheric Institute of Performance & Politics at New York University and Women Photographer’s International Archive Artist in Residence (2022). Her work has been showcased in the publications A to Z of Caribbean Art, by Robert & Christopher Publishers (2019) and The Routledge Companion to Photography, Representation and Social Justice, edited by Moritz Neumuller (2023), among others.
Nadia was the co-founder of ARC Magazine (2011-2013) and One Drop in the Ocean – an initiative that aims to raise awareness about marine debris.
