Combining elements of fine art and documentary photography,
HAZEL HANKIN'S work has been widely published and is represented in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Museum of the City of
New York,
Houston Museum of Fine Arts, JGS Inc., and the
MAK Center for Art & Architecture. In addition to her personal projects, Hazel carries out a variety of freelance assignments and teaches photography at the City College of New York (CCNY).
Hazel photographed regularly in Cuba In the 1990s. Graphis Press published work from her photo essays on Cuban life in a time of economic crisis and on Muhammad Ali’s humanitarian aid tour of Havana in their books of international photojournalism entitled, The Human Condition. A shot of Ali with Fidel Castro was included in Life's Album of the Year in 1996 and that image and others are included in a traveling photo exhibit on Muhammad Ali (currently at the Hofstra Museum) in 2008.
Hazel’s images of the innovative architecture of Cuba’s National Art Schools were published by the World Monument Fund’s magazine, Icon and appear in the book, Revolution of Forms: Cuba’s Forgotten Art Schools by Princeton Architectural Press. They have been exhibited in Havana, Los Angeles, New York and Vienna, and Lehigh University Art Galleries included several images from this series in a 2006 exhibit entitled Viajeros: North American Artist/Photographers’ Images of Cuba.
Hazel’s ongoing project, Rhythm & Rapture, brings together two of her life’s passions — social dancing and photography — in images of salsa, swing and tango dancers. Work from this series was exhibited in a one-person show at the Houston Center for Photography and has been featured in a DoubleTake magazine cover story, the Spanish photography magazine, La Fotografía, and the German magazine, Aufbau. She is currently working on an in-depth photo essay exploring New York’s pioneering salsa/mambo scene, seen from the perspective of a long-time participant.
