Bio
Rouzbeh Akhbari is an artist working in video installation and film. His practice is research-driven and usually exists at the intersections of political economy, story-telling and critical architecture & planning.
Through a delicate examination of the violence and intimacies that occur at the boundaries of lived experience and constructed histories, he uncovers the minutiae of power that organizes and regiments the world around us.
Akhbari was trained as a sculptor at OCAD University and holds a graduate degree in visual studies from University of Toronto’s School of Architecture, Landscape and Design.
