Biography:
Jamil G Baldwin (b. 1988) was born in Lancaster, CA and raised in and across the Inland Empire and Los Angeles. Baldwin’s work explores the ability of the photographic document to reconstitute the histories of images and material into value systems of care. Images of either his geography, neighbors, or family are housed within or made into objects that reward curiosity and patience. They aim to highlight practices of connection with respect to locales and communities.
He received his BS and BA from The Wharton School of Business at University of Pennsylvania. He is currently pursuing his MFA in visual arts from University of California, San Diego.
His images have exhibited at LACE, PioneerWorks, Band of Vices, Belfast Photo Festival, Lagos Photo Festival, and included in the following publications: New York Times, Aperture, Der Greif, Matte Editions, JRNL, and Callaloo. His work has also been acquired by the Kinsey Collection.
Baldwin also co-founded LocallyGrownTV, a radically-centered digital TV initiative that reimagines TV from before for the now, as a way to reclaim broadcasts ability to build community. It was featured in WIRED magazine and mentioned in The New Yorker.
