Eszter Rosta (b. tkaronto) is an emergeing, interdisciplinary artist living and working in ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (amiskwaciwâskahikan), also known as so-called Edmonton. Prioritizing embodied and research-creational/ practice-led methodologies, their work examines phenomenological relationships, encounters, and events - to and between humans and non-human others, with site and place, and otherwise materialities and environments of the everyday. Through methods such as public intervention, site-specific happenings, lens-based documentation, collaboration, and object-making - and informed by a queer, decolonial, and anti-capitalist ethics - their work emphasizes the critical, affective, and aesthetic role of these relationships and encounters in our understandings and makings of the world.

They hold a BFA in Studio Art with a Minor in Gender and Women’s Studies cum laude from York University (2019), a BEd cum laude from York University (2019), and an MFA in Intermedia from the University of Alberta (2022). They have performed and shown work nationally, including exhibitions at FAB Gallery, Lowlands Project Space, Parallel Space, About Light Immersive Gallery, and presented research at the Universities Art Association of Canada Conference (UAAC), the Cultural, Social, and Political Thought (CSPT) Graduate Conference, and the Feminist Art Conference (FAC). Their work has received support and funding from organizations and institutions including the Edmonton Arts Council, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, The Royal Society of Canada, and the University of Alberta.

Current work and research is interested in processes of healing from trauma and grief, mourning in the digital age, and sensorial/ embodied memories, dreams, and happenings.
