Artemus Jenkins is an Atlanta-based artist from Baltimore, Maryland, whose work engages themes of identity, cultural heritage, spirituality, and resilience. Working as an experimental ethnographer, he records historical transformation as it unfolds. Through lens-based imagery, collage, and assemblage, Jenkins develops a fractured language of storytelling that reflects the complex process of piecing together identities within the African Diaspora. His practice seeks to unify these fragments into a holistic representation of lived experience. As an international arts ambassador and public art advocate for Atlanta, Jenkins has carried the city’s creative spirit onto global stages, advancing cross-cultural dialogue and affirming the role of artists as stewards of public life. He was also an inaugural resident of the Lagos-Atlanta Artist Exchange Program, curated by Lauren Tate Baeza. Jenkins has further extended his practice into pedagogy, developing How to Be a Dope Artist—a curriculum that guides artists in creating their own creative blueprints—through residencies with The Creatives Project and the Walker and Peters Project in Castleberry Hill, Atlanta.
