    Jin-me Yoon
    Scotiabank Photography Award

    Korean-born, Vancouver-based artist Jin-me Yoon reflects critically upon the construction of national and diasporic identities in relation to her personal experience and broader geopolitical contexts. Winner of the Scotiabank Photography Award (2022), she repurposes visual stereotypes and dominant narratives to explore gender, culture, and citizenship in a globalized era, reframing some of today’s most pressing issues, including the impacts of colonialism, militarization, displacement, and environmental devastation.
