This major exhibition celebrates the work of Korean-born, Vancouver-based artist Jin-me Yoon, who uses photography, video and performance to explore the construction of national and diasporic identities.
This exhibition, composed of seminal series along with new works, celebrates artist Jin-me Yoon’s lens-based art. Korean-born and based in Vancouver, Yoon reflects critically upon the construction of national and diasporic identities in relation to her personal experience and broader geopolitical contexts. The artist, winner of the Scotiabank Photography Award (2022), repurposes visual stereotypes and dominant narratives to explore gender, culture, and citizenship in an accelerated, globalized era. Yoon’s work also reframes viewers’ understanding of some of the most pressing issues today, including the impacts of colonialism, militarization, displacement, and environmental devastation.
Organised by The Image Centre and presented by Scotiabank in partnership with the CONTACT Photography Festival.
