Sin Wai Kin was born in Toronto, Canada in 1991. They studied at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London and the Royal College of Art, London.

Sin’s practice pivots around the use of speculative fiction within performance, moving image, writing and print, to question the idealised image and the collective gaze. Their work creates fantasy narratives, to interrupt normative processes around issues of desire, identification, and objectification. Sin uses drag as a means to reimagine our relationships to our bodies and our bodies' relationship to the world.

Sin lives and works in London.

Turner Prize 2022 was at Tate Liverpool, 20 October 2022 – 19 March 2023.
