Sketching Session » » HAYV KAHRAMAN

🌟 Join us for a morning sketching session at Foster Botanical Garden with HT25 visiting artist Hayv Kahraman. Meet the artist and talk story with fellow sketchers (all skill levels welcome). Kahraman’s work addresses radicalized gender and body politics, migrant consciousness, and the marginal spaces of diasporic life, drawing from her personal history as an Iraqi émigré first to Europe and then the United States. Her canvases often feature female figures, which she views as embodiments of a collective experience, juxtaposed with various botanicals. This sketch session is not instructional but, rather, an opportunity to gather and share space.
