Co-Founder, Artistic DirectorDu Zhang
Du shapes AKP’s artistic direction and curatorial voice. With a practice-rooted perspective informed by phenomenology, technofeminism, and XR culture, she is drawn to works that feel alive: embodied, sensory, and emotionally precise. She often sit at the edge of digital and physical experience.
At AKP, Du leads artist scouting, curatorial concepts, exhibition narratives, and visual world-building, ensuring each project carries a clear point of view while staying playful, contemporary, and a little unexpected.
