about

dre r. jácome (she/her) is a transdisciplinary artist, storyteller, and strategist working across digital and land-based technologies. As a child of the Andes Mountains, the Magdalena River, and Georgia red clay, her work is rooted in the subversive healing technologies found in the land, the body, and the everyday. Inspired by magical realism, and the survival arts of daily life, she builds experimental counter-archives that honor and defend BIPOC knowledge systems held in story, nature, and recovering cosmologies.

With over twelve years of experience as a wordsmith, designer, and communications strategist, dre has stewarded collective narratives in the realms of cultural organizing, healing justice, and the solidarity economy. Her creative practice is grounded in relational methodologies including archival research, oral history, critical ethnobotany, and long-term partnerships with community organizations and chosen family.

She currently serves as the Communications Director of the After Violence Project, is a resident artist with Flux Factory and Future Histories Studio, and sits on the Community Advisory Board of Powerhouse Arts. Her work has been featured at Lincoln Center, Smack Mellon, and MOCADA Abolition House.

dre holds a B.A. in History & Latin American Studies from Swarthmore College and an M.S. in Interactive Telecommunications from NYU.
