Marion Aguas is a trans Filipinx photographer and filmmaker based in Brooklyn, New York.

They cut their teeth in the streets, documenting the Filipino national democratic movement and the W.O.W. Project, a women, queer, and trans-led community initiative that uses art and activism to protect NYC Chinatown’s culture. In 2017, they started a portrait project of queer Asian-Americans, which inevitably led them into the QTBIPOC nightlife and drag scenes in New York. Informed by their own experience as a trans person of color, Marion uses their camera to immortalize queer joy as a form of liberation.
They have shown work at The Wing Luke Museum, Red Hook Labs, The San Diego Filipino Film Festival, and MoodRing.
