Jada-Amina is a Black Indigenous American new genres artist, curator and cultural worker born and based on the South Side of Chicago. Her work spans sound, writing, video and collage, exploring tenderness within the ancestral and contemporary context of the Black Atlantic, and centering a love ethic, as informed by bell hooks (All About Love, 2000). Rooted in Black feminist and faith traditions, her practice addresses memory, migration and materiality, attuned to their erotic, gender and class dimensions.
