"...for those that dream and continue to do so."

Jamele Wright, Sr. is a textile artist influenced by ancestral narratives and Black American vernacular. Wrights sculpture-like pieces show found materials such as Georgia red clay and Dutch Wax cloth, all representative of intergenerational messages about transit and migration. He describes his works as portals inspired by the histories of the "Great Migration" in America.
Wright has a background of practice in jazz and spoken word poetry. After curating a gallery space for over a year, he committed to pursuing a career as a working artist. After earning a B.A. in Art History from Georgia State University, he continued his studies and completed a Masters of Fine Art from The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, New York. Wright has shown in galleries, group exhibitions and has been awarded, several fellowships.
