Jasmine Pasquill is a Brooklyn-based multi-media artist, photographic post-production artist, a curator of live performance, performer, garden keeper, and world traveler. She has a burgeoning interest in progressive politics; social justice issues and permacultural practices. Her early drawing works have been shown at Kantor-Feuer Gallery, 31 Grand and with a solo show at Los Angeles cult favorite: Show Pony. Her digital imaging expertise has landed her collaborative works with critical fashion photographers in both illustrious fashion publications such as international Vogue magazines to the more risqué avant-garde class such as Purple and Numéro. Her formative performance works have taken place at the cherished Zebulon,Tarot Society, Lutheran Church of the Messiah and the Convent of St. Cecilia. As an independent curator, Pasquill has most often assembled casts of NY based artists for exhibitions in other cities. She curates for what she calls the Experimental Greenpoint Series, featuring performances by musicians and dance artists in her Greenpoint, Brooklyn home- which had the opportunity to travel as a showcase for the inaugural launch of The Last Weekend Festival, in upstate New York: designed for and by run NYC's cultural makers and doers. Her other curatorial credits include Merge: An Audio Visual Trip (2015) NY, The Mirror of Us All (2013) NY, Experimental Greenpoint: The Last Weekend (2012) NY, New York Group Show for Source: Maui Interactive Music Festival (2011) HI, Frenetic Grace (2007) Igloo Gallery, OR.
