Biographie
Adam Arca is a queer Filipino migrant rights organizer, writer, scholar, and Master of Public Health candidate studying on the unceded territory of the Musqueam Nation. A son to migrant workers from Bulacan in Luzon and Cebu in Visayas, their work is deeply informed by migrant care (work), community-based and interdisciplinary methods, and the archipelagic connections between anti-colonial and anti-imperial struggles from Turtle Island to the Philippines. He is particularly interested and involved in migrant labor and welfare movements and grassroots activism to-and-from the Philippines. Current explorations look at the intimate connections between discard/waste studies and migrant care workers.
