Jane Jasmine (JJ) is a Malawian fusion Movement Artist and Freestyler who captures her work through filmed edits using her iPhone. JJ currently lives and works in London, United Kingdom as a Creative Brand Researcher, whilst planning to expand her career in Film and Movement.
A majority of JJ’s references make an ode to her experiences being immersed in a multicultural environment at school and at home in Malawi. JJ strongly pulls from cinematography movement seen behind in videos in a variety of genres such as Hip Hop, Amapiano, RnB and Electrotango (to mention a few); creating an amalgamated creative response.

JJ is most motivated by Afrofuturism in her work and in her current practice, she aims to explore the micro/macro movements seen within the South-East African diaspora in London - exploring how gestures, greetings (e.g. handshakes) and facial expressions are evoling the way we non-verbally communicate and connect amongst the diaspora.
The ambition of the project is to expand into a documented film series, merging her knowledge in movement so far and exploration in edits.
