The Art Box - Episode 119 - Meet nicolas b. jacobson - MDM

It was Linda and Steve's extreme pleasure to interview nic recently to chat about their art career, passions and work included in the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art at University of Nevada Las Vegas, Modern Desert Markings exhibition sponsored by Nevadans for Cultural Preservation.

nicholas b jacobsen is a seventh-generation Utah-Mormon, trans-nonbinary settler raised in Nuwu homelands. As a creative historian, culture critic, & visual artist, their work addresses their personal and ancestral connections to the U.S. & Mormon settler-colonial-imperialist project. Through this, they work to disassimilate from the myths of white-supremacy and settler-innocence central to Mormon & U.S. cultures. jacobsen completed a Master of Fine Arts degree in Art & Ecology at the University of New Mexico & a Bachelor of Fine Arts in ceramics from Southern Utah University. They’ve have won many awards & have been published, podcasted, exhibited, and collected throughout the U.S.

This art was mentioned by nic and we thought a link to it would be interesting for our listeners.
