Jun Saturay

artist and cultural worker

Jun Saturay is an artist who used to work as a dentist and community health worker in the Philippines.

There, he used community
theater as a tool to educate about health,
and was actively involved in human rights
and environmental advocacy. Due to
political persecution, he was forced to
seek political asylum in the Netherlands
in 2003. The main subject of his artistic
and political work—carried out in collaboration with his life partner, theater artist
Mitchy Mallorca Saturay, and others—is
the struggle for national and social
liberation in the Philippines. His affiliations include MIGRANTE-Netherlands
and Linangan Art&Culture Network.
Currently, he works on the technical
