I'm
GENE ZHAI

I am a China-based independent art practitioner working across inclusive art, symbiotic dance, and visual storytelling. My practice combines performance, community-based projects, and visual art, treating disability as a methodological perspective rather than a theme. In parallel, I work as a professional caricature and portrait illustrator, offering both street-based and online commissions for international clients. My work emphasizes long-term processes, non-hierarchical collaboration, and sustainable artistic practice.
