Join the Hunter Moving Image Alliance for a talk and discussion with the artist and writer Jibade-Khalil Huffman.
Jibade-Khalil Huffman is an artist and writer whose video, photo and performance works use staged and found, archival material and contemporary ephemera to address slippage in memory and language, particular to race and visibility. Through projection and repetition, Huffman’s work evokes the untranslatable, ruminating on the liminal qualities of singular experiences through narrative and graphic rhythms.
Huffman's upcoming and recent exhibitions include the Kimball Art Center and Frac Bretagne in Rennes, France, the Wexner Center for the Arts, Halsey Institute for Contemporary Art, Tufts University Galleries, Ballroom Marfa, The Kitchen, MoCA Tucson, Swiss Institute, New York, Portland Institute of Contemporary Art, The Jewish Museum, Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, The Studio Museum in Harlem, KMAC Museum and the Hammer Museum among others. His awards include the Grolier Poetry Prize, the Jerome Foundation Travel Grant and fellowships from Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Yaddo, MacDowell, the Lighthouse Works, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the Millay Colony for the Arts. Huffman was a 2015-16 Artist in Residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem and lives and works in North Carolina and Los Angeles.
