Jasmine Noseworthy Persaud
Jasmine (they/them) is a nonbinary, mad and multiply disabled, digital media artist of Guyanese and English descent. Their creative work and facilitation seeks to create breathing space for survivors and queer, disabled, racialized communities. Through film-poetry, they are interested in drawing connections between micro and macro levels of intimacy, interdependence, and care. Through illustration, they are dedicated to the explicit representation of diverse bodies – especially those that are 2SQTBIPoC, visibly disabled, adorned with cultural and religious garments, and of all sizes. As a whole, their art is part of an intentional practice to honour the body and all that it holds.
Most recently, Jasmine was selected as a featured storyteller in the public arts project, Dis/Play, created by Ophira Calof in partnership with the ReelAbilities Film Festival Toronto/Miles Nadal JCC – part of ArtWorxTO: Toronto’s Year of Public Art 2021-2022. Jasmine was also a contributing illustrator for the 2021 Two-Spirit, Trans, and Nonbinary mental health affirmation colouring book “Tales of Our Truths” by Consent is Golden at Wilfrid Laurier University.
Jasmine is a graduate of X University's RTA School of Media and has been a local arts vendor and facilitator in Tkaronto since 2016.
