Mursal Mohammadi is an interdisciplinary artist working with film, photography, sound, and textile. Her practice is rooted in documentary and personal narrative approaches, engaging with themes of memory, displacement, and the afterlives of political violence.

Her work, BAQĀ/بقا (The Unforgotten), is a multi-component installation exploring how political violence persists within family life across generations. Emerging from the disappearance of the artist’s uncle in 1997, the installation brings together film, archival photographs, sound, and textile to examine absence as an inherited condition.

Her work will be exhibited at The Image Centre Student Gallery, 33 Gould Street, Toronto from June 24 until August 1 as part of Doc Now 2026.

Opening Night & Artist Talk: June 24, 6-8pm.
The Image Centre Student Gallery

Her exhibition film will also screen at Doc Now.

Film screening: June 17 at Paradise Theatre
