The Han Nefkens Foundation, in collaboration with the Fundació Antoni Tàpies, presents the first solo exhibition of Afghan artist Aziz Hazara (Wardak, 1992) at the Fundació Antoni Tàpies.
Born in Wardak, Afghanistan, in 1992, Aziz Hazara is an interdisciplinary artist based in Kabul and Ghent. He works across mediums including photography, video, sound, language programming, text and multimedia installations, exploring questions of identity, memory, archive, conflict, surveillance and migration in the context of power relations, geopolitics and the panopticon.
"The visual exploration of my work is deeply entrenched in the geopolitics and the never-ending conflict that afflicts my native Afghanistan. The relevance of such issues, however, overcomes geographical specificities and appeals to a contemporary condition that is globally shared."—Aziz Hazara
The exhibition will show his recent video art works, including Bow Echo, a five-channel video installation that has been featured for the first time at the Biennale of Sydney 2020.
