Kaila Bhullar (She/They) is a queer Indo-Chilean experimental filmmaker, multimedia + sound artist based in the traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh tribes. Largely informed by digitally-based art forms, Bhullar uses art-making as an introspective tool that explores various internal dispositions concerning identity and perception, including contemplations around the existential and political implications of images and technology, the relationship between reality and positioning, and how these prospects manifest in the body. As a queer and mixed individual, they are interested in analyzing cultural binaries and norms, where they use moving images and sound as a means to express the abstractions and tensions within these intersections. Their inquiries often manifest as experimental performances, collages of varying forms, video or audiovisual works, and multimedia installations. Recent showings of their work includes The Whippersnapper Gallery (2025), The Polygon Gallery (2025), Centre A (2024), Gallery Gachet (2024), Acceleration Radio (2024), What Lab (2024), XINEMA (2023), Audain Gallery (2023), Massy Arts Gallery (2022), and UNIT/PITT (2022). Bhullar was also a part of Collide Festival of Experimental Art (2024), Queer Arts Festival (2024), F-O-R-M Festival (2023), Wrong Wave Festival (2022), and the Small File Media Festival (2020). They completed their BFA in Visual Art at the SCA at SFU (2023), and was recipient of the CAG Prize and BC Arts Council Scholarship. Bhullar’s current projects include curating an ongoing experimental media series "Sonic Dreamlands" at Lobe Studio, collaborations with Unity Arts Collective, and a sound residency with the Music Gallery of Toronto.

We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
