Nicole and other artists from Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, and Cuba gathered in Havana to attend the 5th Meeting of Thought and Young Creation “Casa Tomada 2024,” which brought about the exchange of knowledge and brotherhood in that institution.

As the Instagram profile of Casa de las Americas reported, the visual artist, from Atlanta, Georgia, set herself up as a powerful voice in the world of art and culture.

As an African-US cultural worker and organizer, she uses her art to explore her own experiences as a black woman from the South; she also seeks to inspire the working class and those oppressed to rise and seek liberation through engraving and mural painting.

Deeply influenced by iconic figures such as Elizabeth Catlett and Emory Douglas, her work highlights the transformative power of portrait and public art, according to the publication.

“Jasmine’s murals not only decorate the streets of the United States but also cross borders until Mexico, bringing her message of resistance and hope to diverse communities.”
