Cade Moga is a gender-non-conforming artist from Curitiba, Brazil, working in Portuguese and English across film, installation, and performance. Cade received a BFA from Otis College of Art & Design after relocating to Los Angeles.
During their initial years in LA, Cade gained recognition as a cis femme pin-up model, often posing for the male gaze under the label of a 'sexy latina.' Seeking to expand beyond a binary stereotype, Cade delved into a gender transition investigating trans-masculinity physically, socially, and politically.
Influenced by the intersections of queerness in Body Horror Cinema and Magical Realism in South American Literature, Cade creates unprecedented trans-inclusive contexts for words like Erotic, Feminist, and Brazilian.
Cade has participated in performances/installations/screenings/talks at REDCAT, Broad Art Center, Gochis Gallery at LA LGBT Center, The Standard, Navel, Coaxial Arts Foundation, Soho House, The Lash, Non Plus Ultra, Stomping Ground, G-Son Studios, O’Project Space, Last Projects, Nous Tous Gallery, Bolski Gallery, Paul Williams Gallery, Post Gallery, TAG!, Galeria Plexi (Brazil), Palazzo Grassi (Italy), IDFA (Netherlands), La Biennale di Venezia (Italy), FRINGE! (UK), Thessaloniki Queer Arts Fest (Greece), Rost (Scotland), Teatro Guaira (Brazil)
