She is the recipient a Project Grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts and fellowships from the Asian Cultural Council and the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Her book Maps of City and Body: Shedding Light on the Performances of Denise Uyehara (Kaya Press) documents her recent works.
