About me:
i am an artist
i am queer non-binary filipinx. my pronouns are they/them/theirs and she/her/hers.
i was born to two filipino parents on land that is not my ancestors.
vancouver is on unceded, unsurrendered Coast Salish Territory, homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. i acknowledge how i am a settler person of colour, a part of an ongoing occupation on indigenous land that never surrendered to colonial violence.
