Alex YIU
Grants
To research New York’s underground queer experimental music scene and develop comparative perspectives on experimental club cultures. Yiu will immerse himself in New York’s experimental and queer music communities, attending events at established venues, as well as grassroots and queer spaces. Yiu will also join workshops, reading groups, and community discussions to understand how artists and organizers create safety, access, and collective care in nightlife. He plans to have conversations with musicians, producers, and writers about queer nightlife, grassroots music label ecology, and DJ communities, and especially how the Asian diaspora and New York club culture intersect. An innovator, Yiu anticipates that the experience will influence his future projects in music and contemporary art.
