Dayang Yraola (b.1976) Manila, Philippines

The focus of my practice is process as media (archival and laboratory), technology as media (analogue, digital, mechanical, electronic), and senses as media; with research on ecology of art practices (art residencies,  sound practice communities), and sounding and listening.

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts, and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Music. I am founder and lead curator of art project series Project Glocal (2011-2015) and Composite Noises Series (2015-2020). I also curated the Jose Maceda Exhibit Series (2013, 2017a, 2017b and  2018). I served as Archivist and Collections Manager of the University of the Philippines Center for Ethnomusicology (2007-2015).

I was a recipient of Hong Kong Postgraduate Fellowship Scheme (2015-2016, 2018-2020),  Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards (2014), Japan Foundation Grants (2012, 2014 and 2015), Asian Cultural Council Grant (2012), and Singapore International Foundation Grants (2010 and 2012), among others.
