Highlighting BAXTER ST’s Be Like Water Fellows

Meet this summer’s Be Like Water Fellows! The Be Like Water Fellowship is a two-month program for lens-based artists with a demonstrated commitment to working in communities of the Asian diaspora in New York City. Led by Alison Kuo, an artist and community arts organizer with over 10 years of experience working in higher education and artist residencies in New York City, the program has brought in many distinguished guests from the photographic field.⁠The cohort includes Marion Aguas, Lanna Apisukh, Mengwen Cao, Edward Cheng, Cal Hsiao, Jiwoong Jang, Sam Lee, Annie Ling, Tif Ng, Cindy Trinh, Sonia Tsang, and Lin Wang. Artists were nominated from an advisory committee based on their existing work with the aim of representing a variety of practices, backgrounds, and professional trajectories. The Be Like Water Fellowship is made possible through support from the Mellon Foundation.

The fellowship will culminate in an evening of presentations from the fellows to celebrate their work on September 17th 2025. More information will be announced soon!
