About the Gallery:
By taking a cosmopolitan approach to artistic practice, Sahar K. Boluki Gallery works to solidify connections
between here and elsewhere in the work of Canadian artists. This means selecting artists representative of
Toronto’s dynamic immigrant communities and celebrating the global connections that shape communities in
diaspora. The artists on the current roster reflect this mission, and while most of them are originally from Iran, the
paths they have taken to Canada and to their individual art practices reflect a range of experiences, from political
exile, to family migrations, to peripatetic professional journeys through many different countries. Collected under
one roof, their work offers insight into how the local and international mingle across media, subject matter, style,
and form.
