Alice Z Jones is a British-Jamaican artist from London, studying at the University of Arts Berlin as part of the Lensbased Class. Jones draws from both a European tradition and the traditions of black and Caribbean Diasporas - negotiating lost histories, imposed histories, institutional invisibility, identities and mis/representation. Jones works with a diverse variety of media including printmaking, painting, textiles, sculpture and sound; focusing on the exploration, creation and recreation of languages of resistance and transformation.
