Born in Shanghai, Zhu reflects on her formative encounter with Ai Weiwei's *Fairytale* at Documenta 12 in 2007, which shaped her understanding of diaspora and belonging. She now leads the UK's only non-profit art center dedicated to East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) artists, and serves on the British Council’s Arts and Creative Economy Advisory Group.

Hyundai Motor and LACMA Announce the Exhibition Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began

Hyundai Motor Company and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) have announced the exhibition "Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began," opening at LACMA on October 12, 2025 and running through March 29, 2026. This is the artist's first major museum exhibition in Los Angeles, featuring over 20 new works including his most expansive neon piece and one of his largest sculptures to date. The multi-sensory exhibition, presented through the ongoing Hyundai Project at LACMA partnership since 2015, immerses viewers in environments such as a barbershop, a laundromat, and a field of Indian-Rice Grass across seven galleries, weaving together sculpture, painting, text, and music to excavate overlooked histories, particularly those related to the Black diaspora.
