Jasmine Gabrielle Washington is an Interdisciplinary Artist, Curator, Writer, and Filmmaker.

Washington’s practice spans portraiture, film, printmaking, curatorial projects, and experimental storytelling. Drawing from personal and collective histories, she creates spaces for self-definition and communal reflection. Her exhibitions often transform into living archives—spaces that breathe, remember, and resist—guided by care, ancestral knowing, and collective memory.

She is the Founder of The First of Many, a cultural platform and creative agency honoring the people behind the practice. Through this work, Washington opens doors, builds bridges, and reminds people they have always belonged in the room.

Washington is pursuing her MFA in Photography + Media & Society at the Maryland Institute College of Art as a Leslie King-Hammond Graduate Fellow.

Her current MFA research investigates the paradoxical visibility of neurodivergent Black and Brown women—how societal perceptions render them simultaneously unseen and scrutinized. Through this inquiry, Washington seeks to illuminate the complexities of identity, self-recognition, and liberation within structures that misread difference.

Her practice stands as a testament to art as both archive and act of resistance, honoring the past, challenging erasure, and imagining collective futures.
