ARTIST STATEMENTI use my experiences of being a brown Muslim woman to highlight stereotypes ingrained within my community through installation strategies. My body of work debunks cultural myths created by society and explores stigmas related to my identity. I aim to give authority to myself in my work by being the performer, the author, and the subject. I play on the idea of the self by exploring my relationship with my parents, language and my Malaysian nationality. Being an immigrant in a country can shape and form the way you live your life; you struggle to identify whether or not you are a part of your environment or an outsider. Traditional garments, passing down of familial lineage and practices are what I am currently interested in exploring my artistic practice.Contact: azzahsultan@gmail.com&nbsp; https://azzahsultanstudio.com/Solo-Show Wed, 23 Sep 2020 20:03:56 +0000 Azzah Sultan https://azzahsultanstudio.com/Solo-Show https://azzahsultanstudio.com/Experience-Press Tue, 11 Feb 2020 00:43:39 +0000 Azzah Sultan https://azzahsultanstudio.com/Experience-Press Selected Press: Smithsonian Learning Lab Mission Magazine Huffington Post Art She Says Hyperallergic ATTN Whitehot Magazine New School: Art Media and Technology New School: News Parsons School of Design Vice Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art UP Magazine The Express Tribune ThinkProgress Mvslim Ely Center of Contemporary Arts Kulturehub Stevenson University Times of Perception The Daily Evergreen Rojak Daily The Sun Daily The Rakyat Post https://azzahsultanstudio.com/things-we-ve-kept-treasured-and-forgotten Mon, 17 Nov 2025 18:48:56 +0000 Azzah Sultan https://azzahsultanstudio.com/things-we-ve-kept-treasured-and-forgotten things we've kept, treasured and forgotten 2025 Permanent Gallery space at A Blue Farm, PA.Artist-in-residence Azzah Sultan finds eternal, drifting moments in simultaneously creating and departing from objects that are suffused with memory of care, color, peace, grief—the deep assurance of wading through love and considering the sublime. This installation explores intimacy found at the intersection of distance, detachment and careful consideration. <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024"
