Dr. Ashley Minner Jones (Lumbee) will share about her practice as a community-based visual artist and public scholar working in collaboration with Baltimore's American Indian community to honor their collective past, present, and future.
Dr. Ashley Minner Jones is a community-based visual artist and folklorist from Baltimore, Maryland. Her interdisciplinary practice is deeply rooted in place—usually within the context of the U.S. South—and is focused on honoring and celebrating everyday people. Ashley earned an MFA in Community Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art and a PhD in American Studies from the University of Maryland College Park. As an artist, she has exhibited widely and her work is represented in several prominent collections. Her research is being archived as “the Ashley Minner Collection” in the Albin O. Kuhn Library of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, where she was formerly a Professor of the Practice in the Department of American Studies and the inaugural Director of the minor in Public Humanities. Prior to her return to independent practice, Ashley worked as Assistant Curator for History and Culture at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. She is an enrolled citizen of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina.
