Yarrow Slaps
2025 Eureka Fellow
Yarrow Slaps is a San Francisco-born and -based artist raised on the Bay Area’s multicultural politics, aesthetics, and practices. Yarrow’s work involves deep research into race and culture, studying the current cultural climate and finding ways to merge it with under-recognized historical narratives, and creating contemporary work woven within an ancient fabric.
In addition to curating many shows, Slaps has had solo shows at Chandran Gallery and Guerrero Gallery in San Francisco; Busy Being in Austin, TX; and a solo exhibition Get This Power at New Image Art Gallery in Los Angeles. He has participated in artist residencies at the Bed-Stuy art residency in Brooklyn and the de Young Museum Artist in Residence Program in San Francisco.
Operating at various D.I.Y. intersections, with an artistic, curatorial, and entrepreneurial approach to multimedia projects, his artistry is also reflected in independently produced projects, such as the cookbook Ramen Forever, a blend of visual critique, writing, and interviews that features more than 70 renowned artists, cooks, and food writers. Slaps is currently in production for a multi-genre collaborative debut film titled Lyfe In A Strange Land.
