Bryn Jackson is a Filipino-American artist, curator, and cultural advisor whose interdisciplinary practice engages ecology, material culture, and the aesthetics of power through sculpture, installation, photography, and public work. His work foregrounds how natural and constructed environments carry histories of extraction, care, and inequity, positioning nature as a medium through which social and institutional conditions are made visible.

Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, Jackson draws on diasporic Filipino cosmologies and ancestral lifeways, grounding his work in an understanding of land and material as active, storied agents. His practice is distinguished by the integration of living systems, repurposed materials, and tightly controlled climatic parameters, producing works that operate simultaneously as image-objects and critical propositions.

Jackson has presented nationally and internationally, and his work has been supported by the Arts Council of Indianapolis, Lilly Endowment Inc., Central Indiana Community Foundation, Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation, Herbert Simon Family Foundation, Arts Midwest, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Bryn is a 2023 recipient of a Power Plant Grant, awarded by Big Car Collaborative and funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts’ Regional Regranting Program. He is a Long-term Artist in Residence at the Contemporary Art Museum of Indianapolis and a member of the Artists at Work 2025-26 cohort. In 2026, he received the DeHaan Artist of Distinction Award.

In parallel with his studio practice, Jackson curated an ambitious program of exhibitions, performances, film series, and public works for the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields from 2017 to 2021. He was an inaugural member of The Association of Art Museum Curators’ Professional Alliance for Curators of Color. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Eiteljorg Museum as Chair of the Collections Council, on the Board of Directors for Step-Up, Inc., and as a Community Ambassador for Indiana Repertory Theatre.
