ABSTRACT
Her survey exhibition, Jamelie Hassan: At the Far Edge of Words, organized by Museum London and the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, toured nationally from 2009 to 2013. On a number of occasions I have traveled internationally to work and collaborate with artists and activists. This is extremely important to me both in terms of recognizing the work that artists and activists do in very different and often difficult environments and also because of what I learn when I am in situations that differ from my own. In my work I hope to create dialogues between various ideas of a philosophical, secular, and political nature and social justice. This is a large part of the work that I have done in terms of my advocacy within cultural policy. I have been preoccupied with questions of how we learn, how we communicate, and how we can challenge systems that have power over us.
