Sahar Te is an artist and writer whose practice exists at the intersection of text, installation, and performance. Her multidisciplinary interest in media, politics, theatre, literature, and acoustics inform her research-based projects. Te’s interventions range from language and semiotics, social dynamics and ethics, media studies and oral histories. Her projects engage in socio-political and techno-political discourses to understand hegemony within different power structures.

Te’s work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally at spaces including: Museum of Contemporary Art in Toronto, The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, University of Toronto Art Museum, SBC Gallery in Montreal, Illingworth Kerr Gallery in Calgary, Kandovan and Mohsen Gallery in Tehran. Her writing has been published in a variety of publications including the Brooklyn Rail Magazine, Intermedialites Journal, and Imaginations Journal: Journal of Cross-Cultural Image Studies.
