Cherry Nin (NY,USA) is a director and artist whose work centers on subvert ecologies and the reification of life in defiance of capitalist death drives. Synthesizing inner dream-worlds with harsh, outer realities, their films stage underground, post-industrial, outskirt spaces as sites of play and refuge for women, queer people, and sex workers whose lives operate in the subaltern. 

Nin holds an MFA in Moving Image from Bard College. Their work has recently been presented by Canal Projects, Ann Arbor Film Festival, the Wexner Center for the Arts, Spectacle Theater, Time & Space Limited, re:assemblage collective's Diffusion Film Festival, The Kitchen, Millennium Film Workshop, and Vox Populi. Past residencies include the Wexner Center for the Arts, KAJE, and Outpost Artist Resources. In addition to their artistic practice, Nin is currently the curator of Dead Pixel, an itinerant screening series in New York focused on queer ecologies and experimental moving image.
