Jacob Walse-Dominguez
Lead Research Artist/Practitioner(Southeast Asia)
Jacob Walse-Dominguez is a Tagalog-Kapampangan, queer migrant and diasporic traditional Southeast Asian performing artist bridging transnational histories through cultural work. Their traditional learning spans both Philippine and Indonesian traditional arts, learning directly from culture bearers and lineages from the region. Through cultural immersion with teachers in Southeast Asia and community work among the diasporic Filipinx community in the US, they hope to weave past and present towards a pre-Philippine, post-colonial Asian identity. As an organizer, teaching artist, and performer, they have created sustainable programming in New York, New Jersey, Williamsburg, New Orleans, San Francisco, Oakland, Bangkok and Manila.
Ancestral Lineage:
