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 UnionDocs, DOC NYC, Prismatic Ground, Microscope Gallery, Asian American International Film Festival, and other programs. She is a recipient of the IDA Pare Lorentz Documentary Fund, the New York State Council on the Arts grant. Yehui holds an MFA in Integrated Media Arts from Hunter College and a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University. She is an Adjunct Professor in Communication and Media Arts at Marymount Manhattan College and currently serves as the Art Director of 128 LIT.
