COMMUNITY ACTIVISM
“I hope that my painting has the impact of giving someone, as it did me, thE feeling of his own totality, of his own separateness, of his own individuality.” -Barnett Newman
Jodoh stays dedicated to creating at the intersections of representation, resistance, & autonomy. From the studio to the streets, their work spans memorials for LGBTQ+ lives, allyship with BIPOC liberation, and solidarity with the people of Palestine & the Global South.
Viewing creativity as an incredibly powerful tool, Jodoh maintains that art MUST be utilized to support community, demand systemic reform, and achieve both individual & collective freedom whenever possible.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
