Nathalie Dagmang is an artist born and based in Marikina City, Philippines. In 2015, she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor in Fine Arts Studio Arts Major in Sculpture from the University of the Philippines. She is currently working as an instructor at the Ateneo de Manila University Department of Fine Arts and finishing her Masters in Anthropology from the University of the Philippines.
​
Since 2012, she has been exhibiting her works in various galleries and community spaces in the Philippines, Hongkong, Singapore, Taiwan, Germany, and the United Kingdom. In 2016, she was awarded the Ateneo Art Award/ Fernando Zóbel Prizes for Visual Art for her ethnographic project and inter-media installation, Dito sa may Ilog ng Tumana. In 2017 and 2018, she took on two artist residencies in the Liverpool Hope University in the U.K. and Artesan Gallery in Singapore respectively. In 2024/2025, she will be participating in the Climate Action Artist Residencies Program. For this residency, she will work with a climate research institution in Germany to produce an intermedia installation that will illustrate how notions of risk and resilience are exchanged between the often-separated “local” and “expert” domains of disaster knowledge.
​
She has previously worked with groups of Curators and Anthropologists on the AHRC-funded project Curating Development in the UK where she was commissioned to work with the project team on community-based art events that involve Filipino migrant workers based in London and Hongkong. These workshops produced exhibitions that raise questions about the contributions of migrant workers to the Philippines’ national development. In 2021, she received the British Council Connections through Culture Grant for Kamustahan.online, an exploration of digital methods of artistic engagement with Filipino migrant workers in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. She is also part of the Manila Team (Case No. 5: Escolta, Manila) of the Southeast Asia Neighborhoods Network (SEANNET).
