Lk Rigor is primarily a listener and an observer of connections and absences. In small or large ways, these modest acts register in her endeavors in research, writing, curation, and art management.

As an art worker in Manila, she juggles several roles: coordinator at the Kalaw-Ledesma Foundation, curatorial & operations lead at artbooks.ph, and project manager at 98B COLLABoratory. She has also contributed to Cartellino and ArtAsiaPacific, writing topics surrounding photography and archives. She is also a part of Writing Foto, a platform collecting texts about photography in South/east Asia.

The main question in her independent research was formed largely by her time working for the Luzviminda photography archive: where are the Filipina photographers after World War II? With support from the Peter E. Palmquist Memorial Fund, she was able to conduct archival research and fieldwork that led her to answers — portions of which were presented in Fotomoto Atelier (2026), Calle Wright (2025), and Baraks (2024) as part of her research residency.

She has also participated in international programs and workshops by Taiwan Art Space Alliance and Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation (2024), Para Site (2025), Glasgow International (2026), and Afterall (2026).

Lastly, she finds pockets of joy reading and being with her friends at the Brgy. Malaya Reading Club.
