Huma Bhabha: Fundación Casa Wabi

Publisher: Casa Wabi

Publication Date: 2024

Text by Nicholas Baume and Alberto Rios de la Rosa  Huma Bhabha’s new body of work was made during a three-week residency at Casa Wabi in early 2022. She traveled from Poughkeepsie, a small city on the Hudson River north of New York City, escaping winter and discovering the Oaxacan coast. Alongside a group of fellow artists in residence — each making work in their own studios, sharing meals and the experience of this unique meeting of landscape, culture, and Tadao Ando’s architecture – Bhabha has experimented with local materials and traditional methods to create an installation that brings into dialogue with this remarkable place her own very distinctive aesthetic.  Huma Bhabha: Fundación Casa Wabi was published on the occasions of the exhibitions Huma Bhabha (2022–2023) at and Disembodied (2023) at Fundación Casa Wabi’s Puerto Escondido and Mexico City locations, respectively.
