Yuge Zhou is a Chinese-born, Chicago-based video artist and filmmaker whose work addresses rootedness, cohabitation, and social encounters across urban spaces - the sites of our shared dreams.

In Chinese, Yuge 雨歌 (pronounced: you-guh) means the melody of rain, as she was born on a rainy spring evening.
