Micaela Rianne Cadungog
Micaela Rianne Cadungog is a multidisciplinary artist dissecting the dualities of the female body: the
conflict between shame and sexualization, the separation of the physical and emotional self, and the
association of violence and tenderness. Drawing from her personal experiences, she traces her history of
intimacy and its emotional impact. Her work, consisting of fiber works, photographs, and personal artifacts,
attempts to regain comfort in physicality.
Cadungog received her BFA in Photography/Digital Media from the University of Houston. Her BFA thesis show,
It Turns Into Memory, was shown at Flatland Gallery in Spring 2019. In Summer 2019, she was a resident of
Project Row House’s Summer Studios Program. She has also shown work in curated group shows at both Insomnia
Gallery and Hardy & Nance Street Studios. She collaborated with other artists to organize
soon-to-be-lost(now), a group show focused on memory, space, and the archive shown in the University of
Houston Third Space Gallery.
