Jin-me Yoon is a Korean-born Canadian lens-based artist living and working on the unceded occupied territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh and Səl̓ílwətaɬ Nations. Her early photographic work unpacked dominant discourses and stereotypical assumptions about citizenship, nationhood, culture, gender and race. Expanding her practice to include video and installation, Yoon’s ongoing work utilizes a transnational lens to witness and consider local histories, environments, identities and bodies in the context of entangled and interdependent global relations. Her work has been presented extensively nationally and internationally and is held in private and public collections in Canada and internationally. She was a finalist for the Scotiabank Photography Award (2020), and the Art Gallery of Ontario’s Aimia Photography Prize (2009). In 2013 Yoon was awarded a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2013), the recipient of a major commission for LandMarks 2017 and elected as a Fellow to The Royal Society of Canada (2018).
