Jessica Hankey is a Cambridge-based artist whose projects foreground the ways in which individual lives and sociopolitical realities merge together. These works blur the boundaries between documentary approaches and fictional drama in order to explore the role of performance and storytelling in daily life. A 2019 Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellow, Hankey attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2015 and has exhibited at venues that include the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, The Rubin Center for the Visual Arts in El Paso, Texas, and Bowdoin College. Her work has been screened at Anthology Film Archives and Vox Populi, reviewed in Artforum, The Chart, and Glasstire.
