Jasmine Hayden is a multi-disciplinary performing artist and community culture worker with bi-coastal roots. As a Black, Mexican, Indigineous, queer graduate of USC and NYU, Jasmine is passionately driven by socially conscious art that rethinks, relearns, and reshapes. Her artistic practice works to expand on critical exploration and liberated artistic expression with a focus on sustainability and holistic wellness as it relates to the intersectionality of systems of oppression. Her role as a guide and educator is played through the facilitation of transformational playshops in which group-devised explorations and strategic initiatives are co-created.

With Culturehub, I will delve into a curative investigation of the current values and beliefs held within a diverse community as it pertains to sustainability and roles of active citizens within society. Through the collaborative effort of ongoing playshops, co-creators will embrace research, connection, and artistic play to culminate in a documentary style, forum theatre piece to be performed for pertinent stakeholders. The series will amplify the voices of all participating individuals in unpacking the relevancy and urgency of the climate crisis as it interconnects with various aspects of our human experience such as race, class, gender, and sexualty.
