Jazlyne Sabree: The Spectrum of Resilience

Opening reception and artist's talk, Wednesday, April 8, 5:00 - 7:00 pm, artist's talk begins at 5:30. Let us know you are coming.

This exhibition presents Jazlyne Sabree’s large-scale collages that incorporate paint, paper, and found objects. She elevates her subjects as spiritual messengers, attuned to the whispers of obscured histories of the African diaspora. Through her practice, Sabree examines environment, memory, and spirituality in relation to these histories and contemporary life shaped by a global capitalist system built on the labor of enslaved African people.

Her work investigates Africanisms and the evolution of diasporic belief systems, and the syncretism and acculturation of African cultures, spiritualities, customs, and traditions that, though often absent from the continent, persist across the diaspora. Sabree’s collages hold resilience and fragility in dynamic tension with these themes of displacement and historical trauma.
