Join us in the gallery for an Artist Talk with Sahar Te, one of the featured artists in Illingworth Kerr Gallery’s Winter 2026 exhibition, An Alberta A(r)ttitude.
In this one-hour talk, Te will walk the audience through the research and production of her latest media installation, Hearing Circles Approved Motion (2025–2026). The artist will discuss the themes and questions present in the work and how the work fits within the larger context of the exhibition, which focuses on the creative innovation of recent AUArts graduates.
Sahar Te (BFA ’17, Media Arts) is an Iranian-Canadian artist, filmmaker, and writer whose research-driven practice spans text, time-based media, and installation. Working between Toronto and Western Canada, her work draws on interests in language, media, semiotics, cultural memory, and human–nonhuman relationships, engaging questions of poetics, meaning, power, and agency. Her projects unfold across screen, page, and gallery, attending to how aesthetic, social, and institutional environments shape perception, understanding, and collective sense-making.
