SUMMARY:Rouzbeh Akhbari: Of Wool and Diesel
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception: Friday\, 2 October 2026\, 7–10PM \nRouzbeh Akhbari is an artist\, filmmaker\, and geographer based in Toronto and Lisbon. Working across film and installation\, his practice investigates the political and ecological entanglements of trade\, infrastructure\, and human geography. \nIn 2024\, Mercer Union invited the artist to develop a new film installation for his first institutional solo exhibition in Canada. Titled Of Wool and Diesel (2026)\, the work follows the smuggling of sheep by speedboat within the Strait of Hormuz and considers the act as part of an essential transcontinental supply chain\, a network of informal trade\, and a history of lawless seas with ties to 17th-century Portugal. \nOf Wool and Diesel is the culmination of Akhbari’s research and fieldwork over the last five years\, developed alongside the artist’s debut documentary feature\, Crossings: Kaleh Ziyarat (2026)\, a counterpoint to the exhibition. \nMercer Union’s collaboration with Akhbari emerges from our long-held commitment to commissioning new work and creating milestone opportunities for artists to bring their visions to fruition in Toronto.
