Savannah Faith Jackson

ARtist-in-residence / OCTOBER 8 - december 16, 2025

Savannah Faith Jackson is an artist born and raised in Washington, DC. Her artistic practice exists at the intersection of photography, installation, and assemblage and thematically is concerned with concepts of ritual, beauty, and memory specifically as they pertain to her identity as a Black woman in the United States. Materiality is used throughout Jackson’s work as a means to address the idea of home as well as her Gullah Geechee heritage. Through her work, Jackson is committed not only to reflecting on her own experiences but honoring the stories of artists who inspire her such as Betye Saar and Ntozake Shange. Jackson is also an educator who is dedicated to bringing arts education to artists of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels.

Savannah received her MFA in Fiber Art from Cranbrook Academy of Art where she held a prestigious Gilbert Fellowship and she earned a BFA in Photography & Imaging from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Jackson’s work has been exhibited nationally at institutions including the Los Angeles Center of Photography and the Woodmere Art Museum. As an educator, Jackson has designed and hosted workshops at institutions such as the Cranbrook Art Museum and Detroit Action Now. Jackson has also worked as a teaching assistant at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and The Art Student’s League of New York.
