JASMIN JAHMEELAH

Come To My Rescue

Wednesday 26 July, 6 – 9pm

Typically working digitally, Jahmeelah explores the translation of black identity, afro surrealism, womanhood and spirituality stemming from her Black, Caribbean heritage into paintings. Her poetry often informs the way in which she visually explores narration to make the viewer simultaneously find a semblance of peace but question their own experience.

Come To My Rescue’ ties together the uncertainty of the end of adolescence. Being transported into adulthood and seeing the world truly for the first time with the experience we’ve acquired; in what sense do the worlds we’ve created for ourselves rescue us or desert us?
