Saghi Ehteshamzadeh

Saghi Ehteshamzadeh (b. 1995, Tehran) is a queer interdisciplinary Vancouver-based artist/curator whose practice encompasses video art, live visual performances, new media, and art installations.

Holding a Bachelor of Cinema Studies from the Art University of Tehran and graduating from Capitano University's Arts and Entertainment Management Program in North Vancouver, Saghi's diverse artistic background informs their creative endeavours.

Saghis art practice draws inspiration from their personal experiences navigating sabilities and advocating for social justice, particularly within Iran and the ongoing struggle for wxmen's equality. Their video practice is characterized by a unique blend of compressed, low-resolution imagery and pixel manipulation, and their live visuals feature a fusion of exotic retro videos alongside digital scans of nature and urban environments.
