WAWI NAVARROZA is an artist/photographer from Manila, Philippines. She graduated from De La Salle University, Manila and attended continuing education at the International Center of Photography, New York. Recently, Navarroza completed her scholarship European Master of Fine Art Photography at the Istituto Europeo di Design, Madrid.

Her work with photography has taken shape in highly-stylized symbolic tableau vivants to her more recent interest in landscape, constructed still life, and installation. Her landscape photographs propose a familiar 'other place' that opens up to fabricated emotional space that seem to be carved out by both personal and collective memory and amnesia.

Navarroza has widely exhibited in the Philippines and internationally. She was selected for participation at the Asian Art Biennale in Taiwan (2011), "CUT: New Photography from South East Asia" VWFA, "Emerging Wave" Asian Contemporary Photography, Korea (2010), etc.

Some awards include: Asian Cultural Council Fellowship Grant (2009), Lumi Photographic Art Awards, Helsinki (2011), Singapore Museum Signature Art Prize finalist (2011), and the Cultural Center of the Philippines triennial national award: 13 Artists Awards (2012).

Navarroza has also worked as a lecturer at De La Salle University and as an independent curator. She also sings for a post-punk rock band called The Late Isabel.
