Jinyoung Kim is a visual artist whose practice explores a sense of place and material culture as a core condition where personal and collective memories coalesce, expanding on an imagined realm that bridges past and present. She utilizes photography, video, and object-based installations to weave together an inventory of lived experiences that stem from the perspective of a diaspora.

Her works have been exhibited and screened across Canada and internationally. In 2022, her film received the Seeing and Not Knowing short film production bursary organized by the Leonard and Bina Ellen Art Gallery. She was awarded the Prix Lynne Cohen in 2019, which was presented by the Estate of Lynne Cohen and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, and she was shortlisted for the Prix Pierre-Ayot in 2018. Kim’s projects have been generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. Her works are held in numerous collections in both public and private institutions, including the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, Ville de Montréal, Hydro-Québec, and Banque Desjardins.

Conversations in Contemporary Art is a free event series sponsored by Concordia University's Studio Arts MFA Program. The series provides a unique opportunity to hear artists, designers, critics, writers, educators, and curators share their practice(s) and perspectives. 

This series is made possible through the generous support of Lillian and Billy Mauer.
