Jasmine Narkita Wiley is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and educator who uses craft, textiles, the body, and the image to create mixed media installations, participatory art, and works on paper. Interested in abstraction, obscurity, and blur, she probes beinghood, the gaze, and dark sousveillance. Through the language of her research, materials, and media she blends the political with the spiritual to reflect possibilities of repair. 

Wiley is widely recognized for Black in Denver (2018-2020), a photography and interview series exploring place, Blackness, and multiplicity. Her exhibitions include presentations at the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco, Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, and Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. Her writing has appeared in Artforum, College Art Association's Art Journal Open, Surface Design Journal, and Rewind Review Respond, among others. She has received numerous awards including the Creative Futures Grant from the Black Artists & Designers Guild, Ted Purves Social Practice Award from the California College of the Arts, and a HEAR US Award from the Tisch Initiative for Creative Research.

Wiley holds an MA in Arts Politics from the Department of Art & Public Policy, NYU Tisch School of the Arts and an MFA from the California College of the Arts.
