Talin Hazbar Syrian, b. 1988

Talin Hazbar works across architecture, design and art to connect with surrounding landscapes and the intricate materiality of the natural world. Through her research-based study of architecture, she looks to redefine material experimentation to better understand the context of landscapes, material properties and organic processes so that they may be both sensitively and functionally applied in creative practice.

 

Talin Hazbar received her Bachelor of Architecture from the American University of Sharjah in 2012. In 2015 she completed the Salama Bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Emerging Artists Fellowship program in collaboration with Rhode Island School of Design, Abu Dhabi and the Tanween Design Program, Tashkeel, Dubai. In 2018 she was commissioned to exhibit in "Co-Lab: Contemporary Art and Savoir Faire" at the Louvre Abu Dhabi and was selected in 2020 for the dieDAS Fellowship program 2020 in Design Academy Saaleck.

Her work has been exhibited in the United Arab Emirates and internationally at fairs and institutions including Design Days Dubai, Dubai Design Week, Beijing Design Week, Warehouse 421, Third Line dxb Gallery and Art Dubai and has been published internationally through different publications such as Architectural Digest, Designmena, Financial Times, Grazia France, Disegno, wallpaper.
