MEET THE ARTIST:
JASMINE EILEEN COLES is a local NYC artist whose work is grounded in Ritual Poetic Drama within the African Continuum. This methodology by Dr. Tawyna Pettiford Wates offers an indigenous perspective on storytelling that is cyclical vs linear and honors revelation versus resolution. Coles’ work emphasizes the use of a community centered around art that unpacks life, death, and transformation. A major portion of Jasmine’s work is embedded in wholeness and wellness in order to grapple with the trauma and darkness that sometimes comes with the truth. Cole’s work spans from original one woman shows, children’s books, community residencies, teaching artist work and holistic health and healing nutrition workshops.
