Tomashi Jackson is a multidisciplinary artist known for placing formal and material investigations in dialogue with recent histories of displacement and disenfranchisement. Jackson will present new work that may include collage, painting, and installation, drawing from historical research of the area and conversations with members of diverse communities of Long Island’s East End about current socio-economic tensions. An illustrated publication will document Jackson’s process and installation through interviews, essays, drawings, and images.
Telling Stories and Platform: Tomashi Jackson
“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
Joel Wachs, President
