The Spectrum of Resilience Exhibition

New Jersey native, Philadelphia-based interdisciplinary artist Jazlyne Sabree will debut her latest body of work in The Spectrum of Resilience on view April 6 through July 30, 2026, at the newly renamed Rowan University Museum of Contemporary Art (RUMOCA). Sabree’s exhibition presents timely work that speaks to identity, history, and cultural continuity. Sabree creates large-scale collages composed of paint, paper, and found materials that center members of the African Diaspora as spiritual figures and vessels of memory. Through richly layered surfaces and textured compositions, she elevates her subjects while examining ancestry, displacement, and the enduring presence of cultural identity across generations. Born in Willingboro, New Jersey, Sabree earned her MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in Philadelphia. She currently serves as executive director of Camden FireWorks, a multidisciplinary arts incubator in Camden. Sabree holds a master’s degree in art education from Boston University and a bachelor’s degree from Clark Atlanta University, an HBCU in Atlanta, Georgia. She is an alum of the Philadelphia Mural Arts Black Artist Fellowship, and her work is included in collections such as The Colored Girls Museum in Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum. The Spectrum of Resilience features Sabree’s large-scale collages layered into textured portraits of members of the African Diaspora, including three works debuting for the first time in this exhibition.
