Zawil
Art Editor
Nadia Zawil is an arts and language educator and multidisciplinary artist based outside Boston. Rooted in art history, language, and visual practice, she works with students and communities at institutions including the Addison Gallery at Phillips Academy and the Essex Art Center, exploring how creativity and culture shape the ways we connect and communicate. In the studio, she moves between the tactile—printmaking and sculpture—and the ephemeral—performance and prose—often reflecting on identity, emotion, and belonging. She believes in art as dialogue and discovery, and that certainty is the luxury of fools.
