Join us on Monday, November 17th, 2025, from 3:00 PM for an artist talk with Nasim Pirhadi.
This talk will be held in the University Theatre (ADM 026) as part of the CCS 250 Creative and Critical Art Theory class.
Nasim Pirhadi is a multidisciplinary artist living and working on the unceded, traditional territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation in Kelowna, BC. Her practice spans video, sound, olfactory elements, performance, and sculpture, forming multisensory installations where each component is interwoven. She activates space with scent, sculpture, and moving image, inviting audiences into direct sensory interaction and embodied presence.
She has exhibited her work internationally in solo and group exhibitions in Canada, Iran, Germany, Austria, England, Sri Lanka, and the United States. Her work has been recognized with awards, including the Selected Award at the Third Contemporary Drawing Festival in Iran (2011) and as one of eight finalists for the Behnam Bakhtiar Award in Monaco (2017). In 2022, she received the Audain Travel Award to support a research trip to New York.
