Zheng Bo is an artist with Ph.D. of Visual Culture Studies from the University of Rochester in the United States. He taught at the China Academy of Art from 2010 to 2013 and later taught at the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong, where he also initiated the research and practice group Wanwu Practice Group.

He is an ethnic Bai ecological queer artist who explores the kinship between humans and plants on aesthetic, emotional, and political levels through painting, dance, and film. He believes that art is not created solely by humans but originates from the vitality of all things. Living in a village in the southern part of Lantau Island in Hong Kong and guided by Taoist wisdom, he dedicates himself to creating a convergence of wild gardens, growing words, and lifelike images in the ecological unity of all things. His ecological art practice represents the emerging, transcendent earthliness beyond national borders.

He held a solo exhibition titled Wanwu Council at the Gropius Bau in Berlin in 2021, and his works have been featured in exhibitions at the Venice Biennale (2022), Sydney Biennale (2022), Liverpool Biennial (2021), Yokohama Triennale (2020), European Manifesta (2018), Taipei Biennial (2018), and Shanghai Biennale (2016), among others. His works are collected by institutions such as the Power Station of Art in Shanghai, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Singapore Art Museum, and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.

In 2011, Zheng Bo participated in the ICAST workshop Image VS Spectacle: The Political Economy of Image and Sound, and in 2012, he co-organized the ICAST symposium Publics & Beyond.
