Jasmine Marie (she/they) is a Haitian-Memphian who is using cameras, language, and archives across artistic mediums to both preserve Black cultural traditions and create space to imagine new ways of being. Jasmine's work orbits stories of Black southern heritage, spirituality, and queerness through the mediums of photography, film, and poetry/prose in order to explore intimacy, agency, and what it takes to live freely. Drawing from practices and legacies of queer + black artists, documentarians, and dreamers before them, Jasmine is interested in how art can be used as a vessel for community building and resistance. Jasmine is a 2022 Crosstown Arts resident and has received project support and recognition from organizations such as Art Noir, ARTSmemphis, and Indie Memphis.  

Jasmine began a teaching artist practice in 2018, servicing organizations and community groups that serviced her such as Hattiloo Theatre, TONE Memphis, and the Memphis Music Initiative. In collaboration with other black femme artists, Jasmine co-founded an art production house, NuJas that organized exhibitions and screenings in Memphis that centered black queer and femme narratives. This work continued until 2020. 

Jasmine’s independent and collaborative work has been exhibited at the Beverly & Sam Ross Gallery at Christian Brothers University (Memphis, TN), the Brooks Museum of Art (Memphis, TN), Woman Made Gallery (Chicago, IL), the Greenville Museum of Art (Greenville, NC), and a growing number of commercial and community art spaces across the U.S. Jasmine has been a part of fellowships for organizations like The Big We, the Center for Transforming Communities, and the Visionary Justice Storylab. They are a 2025 Soulcenter Fellow.
