Hostile and threatened landscapes are the sites for Jessica Segall’s work. While embedded in these sites, she plays with both the risk of engaging with the environment and the vulnerability of the environment itself. Jessica’s work is built on a foundation of research that often includes cross-disciplinary collaboration and collaboration with scientists, activists and non-human beings.

During her residency, Jessica will be positioning climate care through the lens of queer ecology, working with the ongoing, women’s back-to-the-land communities in New Mexico and surrounding Santa Fe.

Jessica Segall exhibits her work internationally, including at COP 26, The Fries Museum, The Coreana Museum of Art, The Havana Bienal, The Queens Museum of Art, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, The National Museum of Jewish American History, The Inside Out Museum, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Vojvodina, The National Gallery of Indonesia, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Split, Croatia, The Mongolian National Modern Art Gallery, The Bangkok Biennial and The National Symposium for Electronic Art.
