Jordan Raquel Campbell • Sculptor and Video Artist
Jordan Raquel Campbell is a multimedia artist working primarily in found footage film collages, 3D sculpture and illustration, ceramics, and fabric collage. Rooted in their Atlanta heritage, Campbell’s practice is deeply informed by Southern culture and aesthetics, using these as a lens to deconstruct the evolving meaning of Americana within contemporary art. Their work also investigates the complex relationship between Black American culture and technology; how it navigates religious overtones, alternative styling, and persistent media stereotypes, all of which become embedded in digital spaces. Surreal, nostalgic, and often socially and sexually charged, Campbell’s work blurs the line between the tangible and intangible, interrogating how mythology and collective cultural memory shape identity.

Campbell’s videos ask the viewer to think about Black culture as a profitable commodity of pain, spectacle, and redemption. While, whiteness, its counterpart and opposition within the American cultural zeitgeist is granted enlightenment, self actualization, and spiritual-emotional growth. How do we act out these themes within our own spaces? How do we perform pain, spectacle, and redemption with each other? A transactional relationship where we constantly look for recognition to validate our suffering and endless cycle of labor and creation in American entertainment. How do we escape being more than a casualty, but a vehicle of White America’s spiritual and emotional growth?
