Biography

Marie Hazard
1994, Paris
Marie Hazard (b. 1994, France) is a Paris-based weaver and artist whose work bridges traditional craftsmanship with industrial textile techniques. Since earning her BA in Textile Design from Central Saint Martins (London, 2017), Hazard has been experimenting with weaving, blending handcrafts like plain weave with digital printing to create a unique visual language. Her practice integrates media such as photography, painting, and literature, allowing her to reinterpret both ancient and modern techniques Hazard's art draws inspiration from a diverse array of influences, including modernist textile pioneer Anni Albers and the Arte Povera movement with works of Alighiero Boetti.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including solo and group shows at Fondation Alina Szapocznikow, Warsaw; Mobilier National & Institut Français d'Amérique Latine, Mexico City (2024); Villa Belleville, Paris (2023); Galeria Mascota, Mexico City (2022); and Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (2019). She won the Clothworkers’ Material Fund Prize in 2017.
In 2022, Hazard co-founded the Potyra project with Sophie de Mello Franco, aimed at building a youth art center in Serra Grande, Bahia, Brazil, to nurture young artists. That same year, Zolo Press published her debut monograph.
Hazard is recipient of the prestigious THREAD residency at the Albers Foundation in Senegal in 2024.
Today, Hazard is collaborating with curators and art historians such as Bianca A.Manu, Marie Perennes and Olivier Berggruen.
