Jere Portrait at Ligetizentrum_foto - Carsten Rabe

Jere is a new media and performance artist exploring identity, infrastructure, and archival reimagination. Jere’s participatory installations blend XR, Performance and sound to rethink hyper-identity and resilience in urban life with a practice that centers digital and physical public spaces as domains of critical reconfiguration and resistance.

Jere has exhibited globally and is a Magnum Foundation Fellow, a Digital Earth Fellow and a World Press Photo grantee. Jere was selected for the Lagos-Berlin Artist/Curator residency 2021, the Dekoloniale Berlin Residency 2023 as well as 2025 Artist and Scientist in Residence at Ligetizentrum Hamburg.

Jere’s work has been shown at the Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin, 5th Odessa Biennale of Contemporary Art, International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA), Durban, the 11th Bienal do Mercosul, Porto Alegre, Savvy contemporary, Berlin, Hong-Gah Museum, Taiwan, ZKU Berlin, 2nd Lagos Biennale, Museum Rietberg, Zurich amongst others.
