Sarjon Azouz (1996) Aleppo, SY.

(They/Them) is a multidisciplinary artist, working with vanity as a research space in identity politics. Across durational mediums of performance, writing and audio-visual research, Sarjon’s practice uses accelerationist methods to conduct spaces of dialogue between their many alter egos. In storytelling, Sarjon pulls focus on the characters as political consequences of the stories they tell, building worlds in the post-narrative which mostly involve real life social and cultural constructions, challenging the audience to trace back their own agency and impact on these worlds.

The intervention as a method comes back in Sarjon’s curatorial practice, where they intervene in art spaces, venues and the public for community oriented programming. As a response to the lack of queer clubs, libraries and spaces of cultural exchange, Sarjon focuses on growth in the programs they curate, both on a communal and individual level with workshops, screenings, dinner and performance nights through various events.
