Zun Lee

Dr. Zun Lee is a black-Canadian visual artist, physician and educator whose immersive documentary practice of black family life encourages alternate ways of thinking about community and belonging. His visual explorations often focus on how communities codify identity and self-representation, but also how the meaning of such images may shift as they circulate in the realm of cultural commodification and appropriation.

Lee has exhibited and spoken at numerous institutions in North America and Europe. Selected honors and awards include: Knight Foundation Grantee (2018), Art Gallery of Ontario Artist-in-Residence (2017), Magnum Foundation Fellow (2015), PDN Photo Annual Winner (2015), Paris Photo/Aperture Photobook Awards Shortlist (2014), PDN 30 (2014).
