HELLO! Welcome to the life and work of باسل الزيري / Basil AlZeri
I am a cross-disciplinary visual artist living and working between Toronto and Guelph, Canada. My practice involves the intersection of art, education, and food, taking multiple forms, such as performance, interventions, gallery and public installation. My work examines the socio-political dynamics of the family and its intersection with reproductive/unproductive labour, drawing on the necessities of everyday life and the (in)visibility of ‘work’ as sites of exploration. I try to facilitate a space for empathy through gestures of inclusivity and generosity. I have presented my projects in Amman, Dubai, Halifax, Mexico City, Montreal, New York, Ottawa, Regina, Rome, Santiago, Tartu and Toronto.
