Sahar Jamili BIOGRAPHY
Sahar Jamili (they/them) is a Danish-Azerbaijani-Iranian artist who confronts Danish racism with eerie installations that often include large metal sculpture, video and drawings of monsters. The reoccurring monsters are characterized by Jamili's experience from being a Dane of a different ethnic origin. Jamili embraces the monster as a powerful figure and makes it a symbol of anti-racism.
Sahar Jamili holds a BFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and previously studied Chinese and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Copenhagen. Jamili has recently exhibited at Villa Kultur, Bizarro, WEST BERLIN in Germany and Gallery Steinsland Berliner in Sweden.
