SCDAA's Nod to "Naz" Traveling Exhibit

The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America Inc., is bringing the ‘Nod to Naz’ art exhibit to Torrance, California. It is funded by Agios Pharmaceuticals and supported by Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The exhibit showcases the artwork of the late Hertz Nazaire, known for his advocacy and “Finding Your Colors” adult coloring book series.

Hertz Nazaire (1973 - 2021) was an influential artist, sickle cell warrior, and advocate for sickle cell disease awareness. Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, he immigrated to the United States at the age of eight. His artwork, characterized by vibrant colors and mixed-media techniques, reflects his personal experiences with pain and sickle cell disease. Hertz’s legacy continues through the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America’s traveling exhibit, a testament to his enduring impact on the sickle cell community. In November of 2021, Hertz died of sickle cell-related complications at the age of 48.

Explore the incredible life and work of Hertz ’Naz’ Nazaire through this interactive traveling exhibit! We encourage museum curators, art directors, art and media students, and the community at large to take a look at his awe-inspiring art pieces.
