Painter, interdisciplinary artist, and distinguished CCA alum Saif Azzuz will deliver a lecture on his art practice. The event, hosted by the Painting and Drawing Program, is free and open to the public. Azzuz’s work blends abstraction and surrealism, employing personal gestural marks and iconography derived from his people's traditions and native land to reflect the resilience of Indigenous cultures.
