Jasmine Gabrielle Washington is an Interdisciplinary Artist, Curator, Writer, and Founder of The First of Many, a storytelling platform honoring the people behind the practice. Born and raised in Baltimore, she works at the intersections of identity, memory, and belonging—using art as both archive and act of resistance.

Her practice, rooted in care, ancestral knowing, and literary rhythm, transforms exhibitions into living archives: spaces that breathe, remember, and resist. In 2024, she launched The First of Many Series to gather voices that too often move in isolation, curating connection as a sacred act.

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

At the heart of her work is a devotion to storytelling as sanctuary and megaphone—a way to honor the past, disrupt the present, and dream boldly toward collective futures.
