Andrew Jackson is an artist who engages with the challenges of representation and narration through the mediums of photography, film and writing. His interventions focus on migration, memory and notions of urbanism; they speak to how the experiences of others impact both upon our systems of belief and our notions of self, but also to our connections to the physical spaces around us and those who inhabit them. Jackson is a recipient of the Autograph ABP 2018/ Light Work International Photography Residency in Syracuse, New York. A graduate of the MA Documentary program with distinction at Newport in Wales, he co-founded and co-directed ‘Some Cities’, a community-oriented participatory photography company from 2013-2018. In 2018, he was nominated for the Elliott Erwitt Fellowship. Jackson lives and works in between Birmingham, UK and Montreal, Canada.
