the artist (2022)

bridges to her (2022)
A short documentary film following Hawj’s family on a whimsical road trip through the midwest. This poetic reflection explores Hawj’s obsession with collecting trash, the dynamics between a diverse group of people, and what it means to cherish a journey rather than the destination.
See you soon (2021)
A sound piece paying homage to the sounds of loved ones and happy memories. Mixing voicemails sent to her phone and audio from videos in her camera roll, this intimate piece brings Hawj back to the safe feeling of a warm community while studying at an art institution. Listening to it forms a connection between home life and school life.
Grey for the graduate (2021)
Grey For The Graduate is a music video created by four students studying video and multimedia at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. This project explores the corners of the Minneapolis city alley ways and reflects on high school graduation, all while embracing the diversity and melancholic beauty of artistic belonging.
Performed, recorded, and directed by Maz Hawj, John Bitner, Tamisha Castro, and Kylin Thomas under the band name Media One.
