Lynn Kodeih is an artist researcher born in Lebanon and based in Tiohtià /Mooniyang/Montréal. Her practice interrogates the politics of the image as well as notions of space and borders. Working at the intersection of textuality and auto-theory, video, and installation, she explores materiality, accident, and the impossibility of representation. Grounded in an intersectional perspective, she brings to light power dynamics and systemic violence, turning her gaze toward dispossessed and colonized territories shaped by catastrophe and forced displacement. Since 2009 she has collaborated with universities and artistic institutions, and she approaches the curatorial gesture as an extension of her practice, a space to test questions in resonance with the work of engaged creators. She is the recipient of the Powerhouse Prize, the Bronfman Fellowship (2024), and the Impressions Residency Award from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (2025). She holds degrees in literary studies, performance, and visual arts from Lebanese and Canadian institutions. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
