Cher Musico

Cher Musico (she/they) is a queer, autistic Filipinx-American interdisciplinary artist based primarily in fiber & photographic works. With interests in collections, cataloging and documenting, she seeks out narratives within the intersections of her Filipino and American relationships and nostalgia. Her creative practice explores aspects of home related to identity, domestic labor and community, primarily focusing on queer identity and their Filipinix-American culture. 

She has exhibited with “WE, the Women’s Caucus,” “Growing Up Queer in the South,” “Someone Like Me,”, “Now|Contemporary,” the Texas Vignette, and the Materials Hard + Soft International Contemporary Craft Competition. With a background in branding and marketing, her career as a production artist and graphic designer has helped influence a digital perspective to her studio practice. Once an avid writer and performer, she’s spent some time competing in spoken word poetry slams, winning space to compete a few times at the former National Poetry Slam. In addition, she helped co-found Mustache Envy Drag and Queerlesque, an entertainment troupe, where she is currently the executive producer. She received her AAA in Visual Communication and BFA in Advertising Design from the Art Institute of Dallas, and her MFA from Texas Woman’s University.
