Grace Wang is a self-taught photographer and filmmaker whose work explores nature, time, memory, and the complexity of being human. Rooted in analog processes like film photography and darkroom printmaking, her visual practice moves fluidly across genres—landscape, portraiture, still life, documentary, and street—unified by a contemplative, poetic sensibility. Her work often weaves together the personal and the ephemeral, balancing formal experimentation with emotional resonance across still and moving image.
Her award-winning short films have screened at a wide range of international film festivals across North America, Europe, and Asia, and have been presented by platforms such as Air Canada, CBC, and Comcast USA. Her most recent short, DELUGE (2023), was featured in Shorts On Tap’s Women in Revolt series (London, UK) and was a Best Short Film finalist at the 2023 Wales International Film Festival.
Grace is a member of Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography, where her photographic work has been exhibited at venues including Gallery 44, the Toronto Fringe Festival, Collision Gallery, and Gallery 1313. Her last series, "Trace", was exhibited at the 2023 Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival. Her work has also appeared in publications such as The Walrus and carte blanche.
In addition to her artistic practice, Grace works as a curator and writer, with curatorial projects spanning both visual and media arts. She has curated short film programs and contributed to feature programming for festivals including the Toronto International Film Festival, and curated Gallery 44’s annual member exhibitions in 2022 and 2023. Most recently, she curated Spectra, part of the 2024 CONTACT Photography Festival.
Grace is an alumna of the TIFF Filmmaker Lab, CBC Development Workshop for Diverse Creators, Reykjavik International Film Festival Talent Lab, and the Cinefam Limitless program. Her work has been supported by the National Film Board of Canada, Ontario Arts Council, and Canada Council for the Arts. Her first solo gallery exhibition, featuring a new body of work, will open in fall 2025.
