Pin Calacal (b. 1988) is a visual artist from Manila, Philippines. Most of her works are anchored in her understanding of the body and its control, sickness, and temporariness. Using the body also as a “lens”, her concerns extend to identity, the fleetingness of human connections, the definition of home and place, and the social structures tied to these.

Calacal works with various mediums and materials, including graphite, acrylic, pen and ink, yarn, textile, paper, found objects, and hair. She received her BFA in Painting (summa cum laude) from the University of the Philippines, Diliman.
