Hazel Katz
Hazel Katz is a southern California-based video artist and filmmaker. Her work canonizes the often unintelligible yet abundant small acts of care done by those disregarded by the state, while resisting neoliberal ideals that promote exceptionalism as a solution to systemic scarcity.
Katz’s 2017 short film, Bubby & Them, won top international film at WNDX festival. Her 2019 feature documentary Florida Water is now distributed by Collective Eye Films. Hazel’s work has been supported by MOMA PS1, Tate Modern, and festivals internationally. Hazel has completed residencies at UnionDocs, Abrons Art Center, and Acre. She recently completed an MFA in Visual Art at UC San Diego.
