Annette and Rudi Rada

Annette and Rudi Rada: Photographing Mid-Century South Florida and the Caribbean celebrates the renowned husbandand-wife photographer duo, Annette and Rudi Rada, whose work has profoundly shaped our understanding of South Florida and the Caribbean during the latter half of the 20th century. Through nearly three decades of prolific documentation, the Radas captured the architectural and societal transformations that defined Miami’s evolution from a post-war city to a tropical metropolis. Their photography not only chronicles the rise of distinctive regional styles but also offers a nuanced perspective on mid-century life. The exhibition delves into their impactful portrayals of Miami’s modern, tropical vernacular, their ethnographic exploration of indigenous communities, and the cultural dynamics of the Caribbean and South America.
