Lisa Hazell is a rememorist, genealogist, and multidisciplinary artist. Her work moves across altar, archive, and ancestral trace—tending Black memory through visual composition, spatial practice, and care-based systems. She is the founder of Paperdoll Ancestry Studio and curator of Paperdoll Journal. Drawing from earlier work in visual storytelling across screen, stage, and broadcast, her current practice centers continuity, rhythm, and trace as living methods of remembrance. ∴ tracework ledger and CV available upon request
