lily hook is a canadian-lebanese genderqueer visual artist and independent researcher. she studied film, contemporary art and gender studies in france and holds a master’s degree in contemporary art and new media. her artistic practices question the imprints of fiction on bodies (present or absent), archives and relics, gender and sexual fluidity, autofiction, family mythologies, and diasporic displacement. always in conversation, her art and researches are fueled with decolonial theories, queer politics, and spirituality.
