Bio

Nica Aquino is a multidisciplinary artist, analog photographer & educator originally from Los Angeles, California.

Aquino holds a BFA in Photography from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon and an MA in Visual Culture from the School of Art at Manchester Metropolitan University in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Her work reveals place, identity, diaspora and the cross-cultural experience through a photographic lens and a variety of mixed medias. Via photography, viewers see through the eyes of a first generation Ilokana-American trying to navigate American culture and drawing inspiration from the people and places around her, exploring the commonality of diverse immigrant diasporas in the US.
