The Artist
Jackson Bailey (they/them) is a trans, non-binary, agender artist and educator based in Tkaronto. Working across analog and experimental photography, printmaking, installation, video, and fibre arts, their practice explores themes of grief, resistance, survival, and healing. Jackson is committed to disrupting binary norms and cultivating accessible, care-centred environments for trans and gender-diverse creative expression. Their work has been exhibited across Canada, the U.S., and Europe.
Beyond the darkroom, Jackson is deeply engaged in arts facilitation, mentoring trans youth, and building collaborative projects that centre access, skill-sharing, and collective growth. They have led programming in partnership with Gallery 44, Sherbourne Health, Lakeshore Arts, and other organizations across the arts and healthcare sectors.
