Mary Hazboun

Artist



Profile

A Chicago based artist creating drawings which seek to represent the multiple and intersecting traumas due to systematic displacement, military and gender violence, and how it continues to shape their lives in the diaspora. My work is heavily focused on mental health and using art as resistance.
