The Visual Arts Lecture Series presents talks by leading Canadian and international artists, curators, and academics.

Join Althea Thauberger (she/they), artist, filmmaker, educator, and faculty for the Banff Artist in Residence (BAiR): Early Career 2025 program for an engaging afternoon talk.

Althea Thauberger is known for place-based experimental documentary projects that emerge from collaborative research and production processes. Her work—spanning film, video, audio recordings, and photographs—examines community histories, geopolitical events, and sociopolitical power dynamics, including ones involved in the production process itself

Thauberger’s recent exhibitions include the Kaunas Biennial in Lithuania, the Toronto Biennial of Art, La Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, and The Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver. Of settler Scandinavian and Black Sea German descent, Thauberger is based on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples and teaches Visual Art and Cultural Theory at The University of British Columbia.

Visual Arts is supported by the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Outstanding Artist Program.
