SoJin Chun

soJin Chun is a Toronto-based curator/artist/arts facilitator who explores the alternative dialogues that emerge in-between cultures and disciplines. Influenced by her experience living in the Korean diaspora in Bolivia and Canada, Chun combines art and community to decolonize the process of image-making. Her work explores artists, identities, spaces and narratives that exist outside of dominant representations. She aims to create spaces to present contemporary art that is socially engaged and relevant for everyday communities while connecting through social and/or political resistance. Collaboration is an essential part of her process as she has worked extensively with BIPOC and LGBTQ2S+ communities in Canada and South America. Through International artist residencies, soJin has developed a collaborative art practice to work with local communities fighting to overcome gentrification and displacement. As an artist, Chun has participated in international film festivals such as the Oberhausen International Film Festival (2020). She has exhibited Internationally in DIY art spaces, galleries and museums. soJin’s video works are represented by GIV (Montreal), CFMDC (Toronto) and V-Tape (Toronto). Chun has a B.A. in Applied Arts from Ryerson University and a Masters in Communications and Culture from Ryerson/York Universities.
