2023 BARBARA HAMMER GRANT FINALIST

JAZMIN JONES

Jazmin Jones is a Brooklyn-based, Bay Area raised visual storyteller, archivist, and organizer. Her intention is to create platforms for more vibrant and nuanced representation of the marginalized communities she’s a part of. Working across mediums, her projects often echo personal experiences as a Black queer, nonbinary femme waging intimacy in the Post-Internet era.

In 2015, Jazmin co-founded BUFU: By Us For Us, a project-based collective interested in solidarity amongst "Us", co-creating experimental models of organizing with "You". In five years, the collective facilitated 400+ free events centering QTPOC both IRL and online.

Jazmin's current feature length hybrid documentary, Seeking Mavis Beacon, is in co-production with Neon.
