About Nica C.T.
Nica Constante Tanaka
Hello, my name is Nica.
I'm a creative writer and digital media artist.
I'm a Manila girl ~ which means I grew up riding jeepneys, taxis, tricycles, and air-conditioned cars. I moved to the United States in 2008 to study Geography and Peace & Conflict Studies. History, place, and inequalities are embedded in my creative practice.
I combine my memoir's manuscript with digital media and traditional art modalities to demonstrate a new way to tell a literary story. Kwento by Nica is my Living Memoir of creativity with a beginning and (so far) no end.
Nice to meet you!
