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.
