English term or phrase: Cultural worker..
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Venezuelan Spanish.

Colleagues from Spain and other parts of Latin America, feel free to send me your suggestions as well.

It's a translation about a LGBT human rights meeting conference for Latin People living in USA and also Americans readers.

Is okay to translate it as trabajadora cultural?

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

Is an entity-sick, disabled, trans, queer, femme, cultural worker, scholar, aswang, cyborg, and more-with ancestors from the archipelago referred to as the Philippines. They currently reside in Duwamish territory (Seattle, WA) and previously lived in Jamestown S'Klallam land (Sequim, WA) and Lenni-Lenape land (northern New Jersey).

Depende del contexto, pero activista podría ilustrar la idea mejor que la traducción literal.

Explanation:
At the beggining of the paragraph there is a different groups of people, but at the same time, they have something in common. That their identities are different from what is normal. And even if their identities are controvesial, like queer, femme, scholar, etc... That does not mean that they are activist.
My point is, that the answer of Andrés Contreras seems to be the best translation offered, but someone that works for what is cultural, is not necessary somebody that protect it.

Example sentence(s):
  • Artesano, alguien que trabaja la cultura.
