• Enas Hassan
• Cre-artist (Creative/Artist)

Enas is an interdisciplinary Cre-artist (Creative/Artist) and an Alfred University BFA Grad focusing on sculpture, installation, and digital media.

She is currently the project manager at The International ANDY Awards; The ANDYs for short is a global advertising award show. There she works closely with connecting and elevating creatives and their work globally. Enas and The ANDYs team are committed to creating sustainable change by rebuilding itself as an award show, that believes that the only way forward is through the diversity of thought, more representation at the table, and less prescriptive categorizations, awarding work that is courageous in its message regardless of medium.

Enas enjoys observing and dissecting the space that connects Art and Advertising. As an artist, her work is rooted in the fundamental values of Janky-ism*. Jankyness is employed through the use of valueless, abundant materials to suggest a breadth of f*cked-over identities through race, gender, sexuality, ability, or class. The work examines notions of intersectional feminism; by acknowledging that disadvantaged identities overlap. She explores social patterns, opposites and equals, and schematic connections.

*. Janky-ism is a conceptual and aesthetic approach to making employed as a means to question patriarchal systems, perfection, value, and seriousness. Other qualities associated with this art movement include, but are not limited to: the mundane; the sloppy; made by the hand of the Other; makeshift/make do; anti-craftspersonship; and an embedded moment of potential or inevitable failure. This contemporary movement was established by Enas Hassan in the year 2018.
