april forrest lin 林森

april forrest lin 林森 (b. Stockholm, 1996; they/them) is a London-based artist, curator, and film programmer. They traverse artist moving image, writing, installation, and performance, their interdisciplinary practice invoking thematic portals of multispecies epistemologies, the archival and the anti-archival, trans embodiment, and the vernacular of the diasporic. With a background in sociology, they bridge research~speculation, the sciences~the arts, and the fictional~the factual with a commitment to a collective remembering of forgotten pasts, a critical examination of normalised presents, and a building of futurities as imagined from the periphery. Their work is in the collection of Malmö Konstmuseum and has been screened and exhibited at arts institutions, festivals, galleries, universities, and DIY spaces including the Museum of the Moving Image New York, Sheffield DocFest, the Barbican Centre, FACT Liverpool, HAU Berlin, the Los Angeles Filmforum, BlackStar Film Festival, Sinema Transtopia, Chronus Art Centre, Schwules Museum, Creamcake, SLUG, Manchester Art Gallery, Ikon Gallery, University College London, Durham University, The Horse Hospital, Occidental College, and Piehouse Co-op.
