XY Zhou, Open Arts LES Teaching Artist

XY Zhou grew up in California, living in a predominantly Asian/South East Asian enclave before moving to New York City where they are currently based. They are graduating from NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study (BA ‘23) with a concentration in “Translations Between Mediums,” participating in both formal and self-led research on art, philosophy, and the law. XY’s current preoccupation with culture and heritage leads them to use art to understand and process themselves, their family, and the cultural tradition that precedes them.
