Parumveer Walia (b. Chandigarh, India) is a visual artist working between Photography and Film, with a special interest in docu-fiction and the malleability of the image-based. Walia’s work centers the affective potential of expanded media while examining the aesthetic, temporal, and social dimensions of the lens-based from an intersectional, queer lens.
Working between India and Canada, Walia graduated from Emily Carr University of Art + Design with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts and a minor in Curatorial Studies. He was a finalist for the Philip B. Lind prize, Canada’s largest prize for emerging artists, and is currently Executive Director and Curator at Unit 302 for 2025. Latest exhibitions include The After at TRAPP projects (Canada), Response: Remembering our Futures at the Polygon (Canada), BINNAR Arts Festival (Portugal) and Paxos Biennale (Greece). Walia’s photo book project, At The Edge of Water, is set to be released in 2025.
