I am a Filipino artist, facilitator, and organizer. My work explores urban and rural entanglements, food (how it makes and remakes ecosystems, territories, bodies, and beliefs), and land & water ecologies. My projects engage these subjects through facilitation, image, sound, performance, placemaking, and grassroots organizing.
My artistic labor draws from my seven years of experience leading projects on agroecology, climate adaptation, environmental justice, and food system transformation.
My collaborative practice is initiated mainly through Ekopraxis Pilipinas (2021 to present), co-creating locally relevant food, land, and ecology projects. I co-lead GLFxPanay, an independent collective part the Global Landscapes Forum network.
In 2023, I was an Environmental Issues and Natural Resource Management fellow at the Mansfield Center, University of Montana. In 2024, I was an inaugural fellow of Critical Pathways at Utrecht University, where I explored a participatory and affective inquiry on food systems transformation in the Philippines.
I am part of the 2025 Creative Frontliners Climate Cohort of the We Are Family Foundation and the Mekong Cultural Hub network. My interdisciplinary projects were developed and presented at Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons (2024), PACT Zollverein (2025), Bangkok Climate Action Week (2025), Meeting Point Vientiane (2025), and the 10th Solidarity in Performance Art International Festival (2025) among others.
