Rouzbeh Akhbari’s first institutional solo exhibition in Canada brings a film installation, postcards and handcrafted felt works together at Mercer Union.

Drawing on five years of research, Akhbari follows a route from Azerbaijan to Oman, using the movement of sheep across maritime borders to explore trade, navigation and the lives of people along the way.

The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, 11 am–6 pm, with an additional Sunday opening on December 20. Confirm holiday hours with Mercer Union.

The exhibition is co-presented with the Toronto Biennial of Art. The Biennial’s free public programme runs through December 20.
