- Zun Lee
- Visual Artist, Physician, Educator
Dr. Zun Lee is a Black Canadian visual artist, physician and educator. He is a 2019 Andrew W. Mellon Practitioner in Residence, a 2018 Knight Foundation Grantee, 2017 Art Gallery of Ontario Artist in Residence, and a 2015 Magnum Foundation Fellow.
Dr. Lee’s practice of documenting Black family life encourages alternate ways of thinking about community and belonging. His explorations focus on how communities codify identity and self-representation, but also how the meaning of such code may shift as images circulate in the realm of cultural commodification and appropriation.
Lee’s projects have been published and exhibited widely and his works are held in numerous public and private collections. He has spoken publicly at many institutions including Portland Art Museum, University of Chicago, University of Toronto, Annenberg Space for Photography, International Center of Photography, New York University, Columbia University, and Duke University.
