Z Behl, b. 1985, is a visual artist from New York who works across sculptural installation, performance, and film.

Her film “Geppetto” was selected for the Venice Biennale Cinema College. She has received awards from the Pollack-Krasner Foundation, NYFA, and the Joan Mitchell Foundation. Z has also curated exhibitions around collective trauma with the 9/11 survivors community, and Hurricane Sandy— featuring artworks that were damaged/improved by the hand of the storm.
