Jasmine Wahi
Jasmine Wahi (born 1986) is a US curator, art advisor, and activist from Washington, D.C.[1], currently based in Newark, NJ[2]. Her practice focuses on issues of femme empowerment, complicating binary structures within social discourses, and exploring multi-positional cultural identities through the lens of intersectional feminism. In addition to running Project for Empty Space, and curating international shows independently, Wahi is also a professor at the School of Visual Arts[3], and a former board member of the South Asian Women’s Creative Collective (SAWCC)[4].
Early life and education
Wahi spent her childhood in Washington, D.C., where her parents still reside. She grew up exposed to curation, as her aunt worked as a curator for the Smithsonian and developed her interest early on.[1] Wahi attended New York University from 2004-2008, receiving a BA in Art History and South Asian Studies. In addition, she received her masters at New York University[5] in Art History, Criticism and Conservation[6].
Work
In 2008 Wahi opened her own consultancy, which focused primarily on cultivating emerging artists in a largely competitive marketplace. Since it first opened, Jasmine Wahi Contemporary has grown beyond an advisory service to include curatorial projects and non-profit endeavors. Curatorial work primarily focuses on social narratives, such as feminism, individualism, sexuality and sexual orientation, and personal flaws and achievements[1].
In 2010, Wahi co-founded Project For Empty Space, a non-profit arts organization in New York City dedicated to bringing contemporary art to a multitude of communities through the utilization of abandoned and unusual urban spaces[7].
In 2011 Project For Empty Space expanded its programming to other parts of the world, including Bogota, Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, and Toronto, Canada.[7]
In March 2015, Wahi co-created and became the co-director of The Gateway Project and Gallery. [6] Gateway connects to people passing through the space concourse with a series of small art window displays and installations by six artists in a rotating program.[8]
In 2019 she was elected the Co-Chair of The Feminist Art Projects.[9]
In January of 2020, Wahi co-curated Abortion Is Normal[10], a two-part emergency exhibition co-organized by Marilyn Minter, Gina Nanni, Laurie Simmons, and Sandy Tait.[11] The exhibition featured works by around 40 female artists, among them Marilyn Minter, Carrie Mae Weems[2], Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Viva Ruiz, Shirin Neshat and Natalie Frank.[12]
