Ayana Vellissia Jackson

Known for approaching her subjects in a manner that is equal parts personal, technical, and intense, Ayana Vellissia Jackson's images provide viewers with compelling glimpses of a human condition that overflows borders. Ms. Jackson's present projects examine virtual maroon societies and spaces created to accommodate complex identities birthed by a rapidly expanding global community. She currently divides her time between South Africa and the United States.
