This information is accurate as of the fellowship year indicated for each fellow.

Steffani Jemison is a visual artist and educator. Her recent work approaches privacy and opacity as strategies of abstraction and strategies of political resistance.

Jemison received a BA from Columbia University and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work is in several public collections, including the Brooklyn Museum, KADIST, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Studio Museum in Harlem.
