Nadiya Nacorda

Nadiya Nacorda is an artist, mother, and Taurus working with photography, video, sound, and performance. Her work explores the nuances and entanglements of inheritance(s) while considering themes of magic, affection, identity, and mothering; along with Blasian feminine interiority and subjectivity.

In her practice, she draws from her own lived experiences growing up in the United States. She also looks to the collective ancestral memories and stories passed on through, and between, the generations of her Xhosa and Philippine family while exploring broader histories of colonization and displacement.
