Xyza Cruz Bacani: Beyond the Lens
For this episode of Asians in Art, we spoke with interdisciplinary artist Xyza Cruz Bacani at her most recent installation, The Diaspora is Home, at Flux IV in New York.
At the age of 19, Xyza travelled from Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya to join her mother in Hong Kong, to work as a nanny for an affluent family. Bacani started taking casual photographs after purchasing her first digital single-lens reflex camera with a loan from her employer.
She is known for her black-and-white photographs of Hong Kong and documentary projects about migration and the intersections of labor and human rights. She is one of the Magnum Foundation's Human Rights Fellows and a winner of multiple awards for her works. She has been recognized as one of Asia Society’s Asia 21 Young Leaders, Artpil’s 30 Under 30 Women Photographers, Forbes’s 30 Under 30 Asia, and BBC’s 100 Women of the World. Her artistic accomplishments are documented by the Philippines House of Representatives under ‘House Resolution No. 1969’.
