Tomashi Jackson: Across the Universe

Explore the transformative artistry of Tomashi Jackson in "Tomashi Jackson: Across the Universe", a groundbreaking monograph that delves into her vibrant and thought-provoking work.

This first comprehensive book on Jackson showcases her evolution as an artist committed to social justice, capturing systemic inequities in US history through prints, paintings, videos, textiles, and sculptures.

Jackson's work meticulously investigates histories of cities, lands, and individuals in the United States, unveiling how systemic racism and civil rights advocacy have shaped America's approach to critical issues like housing, education, transportation, voter disenfranchisement, police brutality, migration, and agriculture.

Influenced by Josef Albers's research on the relativity of color, Jackson uses image layering and light effects to highlight often overlooked patterns of activism, resistance, and societal progress.

"Tomashi Jackson: Across the Universe" offers a comprehensive look at her overarching themes and artistic developments, featuring a rich collection of work created over time and across various locations.

Jackson's nuanced approach to US history and social justice solidifies her status as one of today's most relevant artists.
