International Women’s Day Artist Talk with Mary Hazboun

March 8 is International Women’s Day, so join Museum of the Palestinian People in celebrating Palestinian women artists! This artist talk will feature Mary Hazboun, the Palestinian artist behind “The Art of Weeping,” a collection of 50+ original drawings currently on show at Museum of the Palestinian People in Washington, D.C.

About Mary:

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.

Tickets are by donation, and after reserving your spot you will receive a Zoom link to join the artist talk on March 8 at 12 p.m. Resilience Monthly Club members can use the code 1948 to attend this event for free.
