About the Visual Artist
Jordan is a Brooklyn-born and based, internationally raised visual artist. Her work sprouted from a childhood obsession with digital photography and manipulation. Today, at her work’s core is the reimagination of history. She uses organic and inorganic art mediums to construct a new narrative for Black and Indigenous peoples, bringing to the forefront suppressed and forgotten stories of racial victory. As a third-culture child raised in Indonesia, with two parents of African American, Caribbean Indigenous, and Native American descent, she understands how inherited wisdom permeates our character and actions, whether chosen or not. This inspires her anthropological, theological, and artistic research.
Film photography and generative AI are Jordan’s primary mediums for creating art that illuminates the generational success, power, joy, and conquests of Black and Indigenous peoples. Through the use of both analog and new technology, she bridges the ancestral with the futuristic. Her work actively reconnects links severed by the minimization, adulteration, and cessation of vital stories. Her work celebrates generational knowledge and legacy, inviting communities to ask questions, become the listeners and scribes of their families, dive deep into their history, and uncover true identity.
