Carielyn Tunion-Lam (she/they) is an artist, writer, videopoet, and cultural worker with a background in screen and media arts.
Videopoetry and writing are central to her creative expression—places where she can create, recreate, destroy, reconfigure and regenerate; where she can write and rewrite herself and the stories for which she’s a conduit. Carielyn is interested in yearning, radical nostalgia/softness, and the Tropical Gothic from a critical ‘Filipino’ and Hong Kong diaspora perspective.
Her work has been supported by CuriousWorks, Sydney Opera House, Mascara Literary Review, kindling & sage, Emerging Writers Festival, SBS Filipino, Creature Magazine and KAP Magazine. She is currently doing postgraduate study in literature at WSU.
Carielyn’s ancestral roots are in the archipelago of the so-called Philippines and Kowloon, Hong Kong. She currently lives, studies, works and treads respectfully on unceded Burramattagal on Dharug country.
