Director
Kaila Bhullar (She/They) is an experimental filmmaker + multimedia artist based in the stolen territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh tribes. Largely informed by digitally-based forms, Bhullar uses art-making as an introspective tool that explores various internal dispositions concerning identity and perception. As a queer and mixed human, they are interested in analyzing cultural binaries and norms, alongside complexities that exist within the self. These inquiries often manifest as collages of varying forms, video or audiovisual works, and multimedia installations. Some of Bhullar’s recent exhibition history includes The James Black Gallery (2023), XINEMA (2023), Audain Gallery (2023), Massy Arts Gallery (2022), and UNIT/PITT (2022). They also have upcoming residencies with Lobe Studio and the Contemporary Art Gallery in 2024, and hold a BFA from SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts.
