Jaya Jacobo is a transgender female thinker and writer born and raised in the Philippines, educated in the United States, and now living in the United Kingdom. An Assistant Professor of Gender Studies at Coventry University, England, and a Member of the Board of Trustees of the Society of Trans Women of the Philippines (STRAP), her initial forays into trans and nonbinary art and activism were with travestis and transsexual women in Brazil.
Therapeutically, and deeply attuned to context, Jaya Jacobo intimates spirits of transfemininity through the temporalities of the Philippines. Without spoon-feeding tangibility or timeline, Jacobo unsensationally invokes perseverance in its purest form.
