​​Cherry Nin is an artist in New York primarily making movies. Driven by an ongoing investigation of the potential of video to transmute violence, and a devout commitment to art making as spiritual endeavor, Nin’s projects situate the hyper-real, the underground, the unseen, and the in-between as sites of play, possibility, and refuge for gendered and sexualized people.
​
Nin is a recipient of the Leeway Foundation's Art & Change Grant and the Philadelphia Independent Media Fund. Past residencies include KAJE, the Wexner Center for the Arts, and Outpost Artist Resources. Their work has recently been presented at Spectacle Theater, Time & Space Limited, re:assemblage collective's Diffusion Film Festival, The Kitchen, Millennium Film Workshop, and Vox Populi. Nin is the founder of Krissy Talking Pictures, a video art collective creating opportunities for queer artists. Nin holds an MFA in Moving Image from Bard College's Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts.
