Mariah Moneda

Mariah Moneda (b.1997) Mariah received her BFA from Arizona State University in Photography and is an interdisciplinary artist and instructor, pursuing her MFA at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she is an Ed-GRs Graduate and Theodora Herfulth Kubly Minority Fellow. Working with photography, sculpture, and social practice, Mariah draws on her lived experience as a first-generation, Filipino-American woman investigating the connection between memory and the body’s senses through its nuanced relationship with labor, ritual, and belonging. Through this lens she leans into the experiential and utilizes her practice as a tool to explore the liminal space between herself and community.

Mariah has taught at San Diego Museum of Photographic Arts, has spoken at the Herberger Institute of Design and Arts, Artist Colloquium at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Grossmont Community College, and The School of Human Ecology. Her work has been shown nationally and regionally across the United States at the Trout Museum of Art (Appleton, WI) Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (Winston-Salem, NC) the Center for Fine Art Photography (Fort Collins, CO) The AjA Project (San Diego, CA), with work in collections at Arizona State University’s Northlight Gallery (Tempe, AZ)
