Aziz’s creative practice started with his family and Haitian heritage. His journey began with growing up around his grandfather’s Haitian art collection. With these works, he consciously and subconsciously absorbed these influences. Aziz started to curate exhibitions in New Orleans beginning in 2015 around the underdiscussed connections between the city and Haiti. These creative expressions led to him starting to create his own visual artworks by 2017. His personal work is very much fueled by his interest in "Blackness" as an experience, construct, and capitalist tool - and specifically the ways that the entire social and economic fabric of the Western world has been centered around Black bodies whether it be slavery, music, sports or art. Aziz’s current work explores this through an interdisciplinary practice (which he has begun to refer to as "historical pop cultural assemblage") that utilizes video, photography, performance, and mixed-media installations to remix and reinterpret narratives and visual languages that many of us have all seen before.
Aziz has contributed to publications such as HuffPost, Terremoto and AFROPUNK and his work has been featured by The Oxford American, The Associated Press and The Alternative UK. He is also the recipient of several artist residencies and fellowships including as a 2020 Andy Warhol Foundation Curatorial Fellow and a 2021 Joan Mitchell Center Artist-in-Residence. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from Morehouse College and a Master of Science degree from The University of Manchester (UK).
