Valkyrie Yao is a 2026 Create Change Fellow with The Laundromat Project. The fellowship supports artists working at the intersection of creative practice, community engagement, and public life, offering a framework for developing socially grounded artistic projects in relation to New York City communities.

Through this fellowship, Yao continues her work across performance, public space, cultural memory, and community-facing artistic practice. The fellowship strengthens her ongoing inquiry into how choreography can create temporary forms of gathering, attention, and shared civic imagination.
