Jin-me Yoon

Jin-me Yoon is an award-winning Korean-born artist whose work explores the entangled relations of tourism, militarism, and colonialism. She has used photography, video, performance, and installation to situate the experience of migration in relation to unfolding historical, political, and ecological conditions. Through experimental cinematography and the performative gestures of family, friends, and community members, Yoon reconnects repressed pasts with damaged presents, creating the conditions for different futures. For over three decades, Jin-me Yoon’s work has been presented internationally in hundreds of exhibitions, and she has mentored many students over the years while teaching at the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University.
