Zhiwan Cheung

Zhiwan Cheung (b. Long Beach, CA) first got a taste of performing in front of a camera as a book reviewer for Reading Rainbow, the 1990s television show advocating reading for children. Since then, Zhiwan has continued to probe the intersection of national identity and the personal psyche, focusing on how and where they join and diverge. Capturing the language of a person and place is complex, often unclear, and constantly shifting. Within these unstable grounds, Zhiwan seeks both the real and mythological, guided by an allusive visual language that may lead to a rite of passage.
