WPCC November - Guest Speaker
2022-11-29 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
Former WPCC member Jazmine Harris,

Through photography, video, and text, Jazmine. deconstructs personal, communal, and political
narratives. Memory, both found and fabricated, serves as her primary material; the acts of
remembrance inform and shape the processes she employs. As she addresses the beauty and
failure of collective memory, Jazmine. seeks to mine, archive, and reimagine impressions left on
the personal as one navigates the everyday familiar and unknown.

Jazmine. holds a BS from Florida A&M University and an MFA from The University of Chicago,
and has been recognized as a 2021 Writing Fellow for A Public Space, Fall 2021 Hooper Prize
awardee, and a 2022 grantee for Kartemquin Films.
