Join us for a one day workshop with Zinefest Houston's featured artist for 2024! Ganzeer is an internationally renown artist who will lead students through a generative workshop meant to give you the tools to conceptualize and create your own artistic and literary zine. Bring your words and art materials--and your whimsy!

With over 40 exhibitions to his name, Ganzeer’s visual art has been seen in a wide variety of galleries, impromptu spaces, alleyways, and major museums around the world such as The Brooklyn Museum in New York, The Palace of the Arts in Cairo, and the V&A in London. His fiction has been published by Temple University Press, Vintage, and MIT Press, and his design work has been utilized by clients from a wide range of fields, such as music, enertainment, and publishing. He is also a regular speaker at universities and college campuses, often lecturing about the use of art as a tool of dissent and resisting oppression.
Ganzeer’s current major project is a serialized graphic novel titled an epic work-in-progress that won the Society of Illustrators’ MoCCA Award of Excellence in 2023 and awarded Ganzeer the Global Thinker Award from Foreign Policy in 2016.
He has been an artist-in-residence in Germany, Poland, Jordan, Holland, Hawaii, and Finland, and has lived extensively in Cairo, New York, Los Angeles, Denver, and finally Houston—where he is currently based.
