Zhao is an accomplished creative, musician, producer – who has created and developed programs in arts and public spaces. Over the years, her initiatives are strongly grounded in South Australia, partnering with art companies, local councils and education institutions to develop projects which amplify the voices of the community.
With a heart for families, culturally diverse artists and individuals – her works often speak to younger audiences with a deeper message. Her recent production “Tale of the Fire Phoenix’ has been a project developed with Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and Create SA; whilst “Multicultural Storytime’ has been another project – still embraced by local councils and Multicultural SA – in the last ten years.
Zhao is a listener, responder, and ground-breaking risk-taker. Her onboarding at Nexus Arts will open up new collaborations and initiatives, crossing languages, art making and forms in the local South Australian art scene, as well as across states and nationalities.
