Julian Jamaal Jones stitches past and present into vibrant compositions. His process begins on paper, with pastel drawings — intuitive marks that later take shape on fabric.
Rooted in the African American quilting tradition, his work challenges visual expectations and opens space for new ways of storytelling, marked by freedom and strength.
Jones is a recipient of the Emerging Artist Fellowship. The Emerging Artist Fellowship provides financial support and professional mentorship for artists to develop their individual practices, to identify, elevate and promote Detroit-based artistic excellence.
