Lloyd Wong
Lloyd Wong was a Chinese-Canadian video artist from St. Catharines, Ontario, active in Toronto’s experimental and queer arts scene during the late 1980s and early 1990s, whose work explored identity, sexuality, and personal narrative through intimate, diaristic media; he collaborated with figures such as Richard Fung and John Greyson and began an autobiographical AIDS-focused project titled An Other Country, but his career was cut short when he died of an AIDS-related illness in the mid-1990s, leaving the work unfinished, and his legacy has since been revived through the documentary Lloyd Wong, Unfinished by Lesley Loksi Chan.
