Elena Yu at New City Arts

Friday, October 3, 2025

New City Arts Welcome Gallery

In October 2025, New City Arts will present an exhibition of work by Elena Yu.

Elena Yu’s exhibition will respond to lichen-covered headstones and historically significant burial grounds. With this work, she aims to ask: “What constitutes care of burial grounds, and how might interspecies knowledge, respect and tending enable new ways of interacting with sites of human memorialization?”

Elena Yu is an interdisciplinary artist and arts organizer from Los Angeles, CA. Her practice weaves together many mediums and intentions including textiles, performance, drawing, sculpture, archival research and community practice. She has exhibited, performed, facilitated workshops and attended artist residences throughout the United States, and is the co-founder of The Firehouse (@thefirehousejt) and Sun Spot (@sun___spot), two artist-run spaces in Joshua Tree, CA.

Elena is currently a New City Arts Fellow, Artist-in-Residence at University of California Santa Barbara, an Incubator Artist at McGuffey Art Center, studio member at Visible Records, and the Ruffin Gallery and Visiting Artist Coordinator at UVA’s Department of Art.
