CURATION
From a foundation in design and filmmaking, Hamza's journey into the realm of curatorial activism took a transformative turn, embracing fine art approaches to create visual installations, experiential activations, and introspective diaries that foster meaningful dialogue with audiences. Rooted in a commitment to personal and collective growth, Hamza's curatorial vision extends beyond mere exhibition curation; it's a platform for social change. By exploring themes of race, sexuality, and culture, Hamza's exhibitions serve as reflections of a diverse world seen through varied lenses. With a keen awareness of the barriers faced by non-white, non-cisgender individuals in the curatorial space, Hamza is dedicated to breaking down those barriers and amplifying the voices of women, queer, and BIPOC artists. For Hamza, curating contemporary art isn't just about showcasing creativity; it's about fostering inclusivity, challenging norms, and providing a vital platform for marginalised perspectives to flourish within the art world.
