Dahlia Dreszer (Panama) is a photo-based artist living and working in Miami, Florida. She graduated from Emory University with a background in Media and Photography. Her work explores identity, memory, and cultural heritage through large-format photography and immersive installations that blur the line between reality and artifice. Using carefully constructed still-life arrangements, Dahlia weaves together personal narratives with broader cultural histories. Rooted in her Latin American and Jewish heritage, her practice reflects the complexity of creating a sense of home across diasporas.
Dreszer’s ongoing project ‘Bringing the Outside In’ debuted as a solo exhibition at Green Space Miami in 2025, one of her four solo exhibitions that year. The layered experience of navigating between cultures informs her visual language, as does her commitment to preserving overlooked traditions. Her latest project that continues this exploration with a deeper lens into Panamanian multiculturalism is, ‘Todo esto que Parece Inventado’, exhibited as a solo pavilion at the inaugural edition of Pinta Panama, presented by the City of Panama and Ministry of Culture in May 2025 at Museum City of the Arts. The City of Panama invited Dahlia to exhibit the project at Casa de la Municipalidad, marking the first art exhibition at the historic civic site from August to October 2025. Dreszer’s next museum show will be at the Jewish Museum Miami November 2025.
Dreszer is a certified Cloud Solutions Architect and AI specialist, and is currently exploring the intersection of tech, art, and nature through her project Clone Dahlia, an AI-generated version of herself designed to explore simulated presence, identity, and adaptation. This work and her reflections on AI’s role in contemporary art were recently featured in TIME magazine’s article "Why This Artist Isn’t Afraid of AI’s Role in the Future of Art." She was invited to present this project at the Frost Art Museum Miami in 2025.
Alongside her studio practice, Dahlia curates programs and public dialogues that center collaboration, technology, and cross-cultural exchange, including Gen AI in the Arts, Collectors Round Table, and Women Leaders in the Arts.
