Yabai
video, documentary / 10:00 minutes
From jazzy scratch turntablism and ear-deafening electro breakdowns to contemporary fashion and articulate androids, Yabai features some of the most influential Asian North American artists on the scene today. Canadian marsupial turntablist Kid Koala, Eric Nakamura of Giant Robot Magazine, fashion designer Natalie Purschwitz, and Dim Mak DJ Steve Aoki all share their stories of becoming definitive figures in Asian North American art and culture.
