Description
Mary Hazboun is a multidisciplinary Chicago-based artist who practices “ The Art of Weeping” as an act of processing grief and somatic healing of bodies through drawing and singing. Mary’s work highlights the nuanced traumas of women and their resistance against different forms of oppression that is manifested in the military machine, patriarchal societies, and forced migrations. She uses art, ceremonies, and performance for emptying blocked emotions, opening internal space, and pouring in trauma-informed introspections as a form of healing. Mary was born and raised in the city of Bethlehem and moved to the U.S in 2004.
Note: I’ve uploaded several pieces so that you could see a range of the artist’s work, but only with watermarks, in the hopes it would prevent people from stealing Hazboun’s art. Please go to Hazboun’s website to see more of her work.
