Kacy Jung and Namita Paul's work are about identity, about their experiences as women, about how the grew up in Taiwan and in India. Their works are a collective of personal markers and memories.
Kacy Jung (b. Taiwan) has a MFA in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute. She has been an artist in residence at Headlands Center for the Arts and Ox-Bow School of Art, as well as a studio artist at Root Division. Most recently, Jung was a nominee of the 2022 SECA Art Award at SFMOMA. She has been in several group exhibitions and presented at Untitled Art Fair, de Young, Berkeley Art Museum and SOMArts just to name a few. Jung was also featured in Forbes.
Bay Area artist Namita Paul holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts, MA in Cultural Studies from University of Washington, and an MFA from the California College of the Arts. Paul draws from personal and political histories, engaging with themes of rupture and repair, migration, architectural space, memory, and time. Her current work is an exploration of the ways in which physical spaces we have inhabited stay with us long after we have left them. Through material and form, Namita makes visible markers of personal and collective memories. Her idea-based work guides her studio practice which includes large scale installation, drawing, painting, printmaking, textiles, and photography.
