Beldan Sezen is a graphic novelist and artist who roots her practice in image perception and the collective experience of (reading) spaces. Her practice takes a bold compassionate stand while being unafraid to challenge the state of human consciousness in regard to gun violence, health care, current threads of social unrest, and jingoism. Taking the form of graphic novels, artists’ books, drawing, essay and installations, her work is combined with a raw outspokenness and minimalistic style that sensitively adds a voice to the unspoken.
