Yehui Zhao is a multi-media artist whose work explores migration, decolonization, heritage, and regeneration. As an immigrant born in China and living in the US, Yehui thinks of film as her third language. Her work takes root in the feminist legacies of the global south, drawing inspiration from revolutionary history, womanhood and daughtership, and the community’s undocumented collective memory. Yehui’s films have been featured at True/False, UnionDocs, DOC NYC, Prismatic Ground, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Asian American International Film Festival, Timeless Awards, Festival of Animated Objects, and other programs. Yehui has published paintings, prints, and writing at Brooklyn Rail, Brooklyn Review and Action, and Spectacle. She is a recipient of the IDA Pare Lorentz Documentary Fund, the New York State Council on the Arts grant, and the York Women in Film and Television Scholarship. Yehui holds an MFA in Integrated Media Arts from Hunter College and a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University. Yehui is an Adjunct Professor at Marymount Manhattan College in the Communication and Media Arts Department, and she currently serves as the Art Director of 128 LIT, an award-winning international art and literature platform and publisher.
