Hotbirdbath is a creative studio by Zhiyu (Zhi) Lu (b. China), a New York-based tattooer and multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, performance, and film. Their tattoo practice is a collaborative, therapeutic process connecting with diasporic, queer, and trans communities through storytelling — covered in Transgender Studies Quarterly, Vogue, King Kong, and THEM. Their work in film has screened at NewFest, e-flux, OutFest, and the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.
