Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste, an artist, composer, and performer who graduated with an M.F.A. in Performance & Interactive Media Arts (PIMA) in 2014, has been awarded the inaugural Triple Canopy Fellowship. Established in 2024, the Triple Canopy Fellowship supports unorthodox, genre-defying artists in the development of a project that advances the magazine’s commitment to the role of artists as public thinkers. Through the Fellowship, Toussaint-Baptiste is developing a new project rooted in the central themes of his work: the role of ancestry and heritage in representations and elisions of Black life, as well as the reclamation of historical narratives—and property—as a form of resistance. He is also currently an assistant professor at Virginia Commonwealth University.
