Podcast appearances and mentions of Ayana V Jackson

En su columna para A vivir Madrid, Espido Freire pone el foco en uno de los gestos más valientes del panorama cultural madrileño: la exposición de Ayana V. Jackson en el Museo Nacional de Antropología. En su 150º aniversario, la institución no mira hacia atrás con complacencia, sino con espíritu crítico, y lo hace de la mano de una artista que desafía los relatos coloniales, raciales y de género desde dentro del propio museo.

Ep.167 features Ayana V. Jackson, (b. 1977 in East Orange, New Jersey; lives and works between Brooklyn, NY and Johannesburg, South Africa) she uses archival impulses to assess the impact of the colonial gaze on the history of photography.  By using her  lens  to deconstruct 19th and early 20th century portraiture, Jackson questions photography's authenticity and role in perpetuating socially relevant and stratified identities. Jackson's practice maps the ethical considerations and relationships between the photographer, subject, and viewer, in turn exploring themes around race, gender and reproduction. Her work examines myths of the Black diaspora and re-stages colonial archival images as a  means  to liberate the Black body.  The various titles of her series nod to the stories she is reimagining. Jackson often casts herself in the role of historical figures to guide their narrative and directly access the impact of photography and its relationship to the human body. Jackson's work is collected by major local and international institutions including The Studio Museum in Harlem (New York, New York), The Newark Museum (Newark, New Jersey), J. P. Morgan Chase Art Collection (New York, New York), Princeton University Art Museum (Princeton, New Jersey), The National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne, Australia), The Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago, Illinois) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Seattle, Washington). Jackson was a 2014 New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow for Photography and the recipient of the 2018 Smithsonian Fellowship. In 2022, Jackson founded Still Art, an artist residency program focused on emerging Southern African contemporary artists of all disciplines in Johannesburg. In April 2023, Jackson opened her first major institutional exhibition at the National Museum of African Art - Smithsonian Institution. Photographed by Andile Buka.

Au musée de Vendôme, on retrouve le travail puissant et engagé d'Ayana V. Jackson. Avec sa nouvelle série, « Intimate justice in the stolen moment », la photographe américaine réalise des autoportraits autour d'une recherche sociologique : celle du rôle de l'histoire de la photographie et des beaux-arts, dans la construction d'un stéréotype du genre et de la question raciale. Elle revendique ici, la condition de la femme noire au XIXème et au XXème siècle.

"It's never about trying to create beautiful images..." Visual Artist and Photographer Ayana V. Jackson talks about how she works with history and memory in her work, as well as when she feels most powerful. Jackson also discusses her work, "Wild as the Wind", and how she interprets moments of protest in black communities around the world, what the City of Atlanta means to her, and how she grapples with the transactional nature of selling work that represents the black body. This conversation is presented in conjunction with the National Black Arts Festival and Arnika Dawkins Photographic Fine Art Gallery.

Visual Artist Ayana V. Jackson discusses her approach to framing herself as a subject within her photography, the effect her Spelman College education has had on her perspectives of black identity, and how her connections with people and places throughout the African Diaspora have shaped her.
