Biography

Sun Forest is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice is shaped by a lifetime of movement between South Korea, Canada, and the United States. Working across sculpture, performance, video, and installation, she explores how racial violence, cultural memory, and transgenerational hauntings linger in bodies, materials, and landscapes. She traces what is carried, inherited, and unresolved, while imagining forms of resilience, care, and speculative reorientation. Recent residencies include the European Ceramic Work Centre, Arctic Circle, Belkin Gallery with the Quantum Matter Institute, Deer Lake, Diasporic Futurisms, and BANFF. She is an SSHRC Doctoral Fellow at Simon Fraser University.
