Jessica Gaynelle Moss (b. 1987) is an artist, independent curator and arts worker. Jessica reimagines new frameworks and strategizes ways to build, maintain and sustain Black autonomous spaces devoted to the survival, resistance and healing of Black people. Her dedication to Black space stems from a housing redevelopment project that began in 2007 when she purchased a neglected property in a historic Black community and converted it into a creative community hub for Black artists and students.
Jessica received a bachelors in Fine Art from Carnegie Mellon University; a masters in Arts Administration, Policy and Management from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; and a masters in Studies of the Law from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
