My name is Jahmal Henderson, and I’m a union steward at Southern Connecticut State University, where I’ve been employed for 20 years. I am also a Community Organizer with the People’s Center in New Haven, Connecticut, while pursuing my work as a musician and visual artist. I strive to combine all of my life and work experience into meaningful, truthful, and invigorating images and artwork which stirs the viewer to action as well as bringing their inner emotions to the surface. My preferred formats for artwork are graphic artwork, literature, music, and painting. I have shown my artwork at the youth marches for jobs and an end to violence for Tyriek B. Keyes in Newhallville (8/25/2017) and the black history month youth march in New Haven (3/1/2021) for a call for an end to gun violence and police brutality, taxing the rich, and to demand state and federal relief for communities of color impacted by COVID-19. And recently my artwork was featured in Unidad Latina en Acción the Day of the Dead Parade & Festival in New Haven (11/2/2022) which honors community heroes and ancestors who are too often forgotten. My artwork was also a feature piece in the 2022 People’s World Amistad Awards (12/12/2022) held at the Dixwell Community Q House. My training in art is a combination of self-taught design and common art studies as a youth at Creative Arts Workshop located at the Historic Audubon Arts District in New Haven CT. And I continue to mentorship under Darius James. (aka Dr. Snakeskin) born 1954) who is an African-American author and performance artist out of Hamden CT.
