Adam Arca is a queer Filipino migrant rights organizer, writer, and cultural worker living on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (Vancouver, BC). A son to migrant workers from Bulacan in Luzon and Cebu in Visayas, their work is deeply informed by care and the archipelagic connections between anti-colonial and anti-imperial struggles from Turtle Island to the Philippines. 

Aretha Pereira (she/her) is a South Asian writer, curator, and artist. Her work studies archival relationships, seeking to catalogue memory, history, and connection across bureaucratic structures of inclusion/exclusion.

Chimgee Mendee (she/her) is an artist, gatherer, and emerging curator from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, based in so-called Vancouver. Her practice nestles in and around writing, event curation, graphic design, and illustration. She is inspired and propelled by the expression and action of community, how we come together, what we create for each other, and how we build with and for our full selves.

kathy feng (b. Guangzhou, China) is an interdisciplinary artist and arts worker, and is a guest living and working on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Nations, also known as Vancouver, BC. As an immigrant and child of immigrants, she grew up in a constant process of learning, unlearning, and relearning. Her personal practice consists of blurry photos of the moon and fuzzy recollections of her dreams.

Maximilliano Chi Leung Alserda is a writer & poet from Hong Kong. He is based in Vancouver on the unceded lands of the Stó:lō, Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam & Squamish nations. He wouldn’t be here without his family’s support.
