A Special Kind of Double by Nadiya Nacorda

Nadiya Imani Loyisa Ntlabati Nacorda is a Blasian American artist, photographer and Taurus currently living and working in Syracuse, NY. She was born in Detroit, MI to a Filipinx immigrant father and a Xhosa mother. Throughout the year, she travels around the country photographing her immediate family, as well as her family abroad. Her work heavily draws from notions of intimacy, affection, family, displacement, secrecy, and generational trauma within the context of Black and POC immigrant-American family life.

Her work has been exhibited at the Midwest Center for Photography, the Detroit Public Library art gallery, RISD's Red Eye Gallery in Providence, RI and Candela Books + Gallery in Richmond, VA.
