nawa angel a.h., widely known as Moonyeka, is a chimeric creator working across containers of performance, qt nightlife, writing, experimental media and the divine. They're a settler fluttering between their sprawling roots amidst Tongva, Chumash, Chinook, and Duwamish lands. Moonyeka conjures queer erotic joy, animism, Ilocano imagination, and beyond. They center kilig as a compass to imagine thriving worlds for their communities. Moonyeka has the honor of homing into their interdisciplinary instigations as an Artistic Director of House of Kilig.

i was never the siren (2024) is a film re-myth of the Siren archetype; the first installment of their multimedia project 'Harana for the Aswang' realized with House of Kilig collaborators.

waling-waling palpitations is the second installment (forthcoming 2025), debuting as a hybrid-book with live-visual-dance elements along their book tour.

nawa draws upon queer and trans performance technologies in their writing, infusing nightlife, icon-myth-legend, drag, and kink. They work across a spectrum of genre: biomythography, hybrid, and the game writing. Recent publications include their multiverse of work centering Waling-Waling Orchids in smoke and mold; am i hot enough to kill?, an excerpt of (w)horrific hybrid prose, is featured in The Holy Hour anthology by Working Girls Press. They're currently a curated writer for Khôra.
