Jackie Milad (Baltimore City, MD) is a Baltimore City-based artist born to immigrant parents. Her identity as a mixed-cultural person of Egyptian-Honduran origins informs her creative practice. Growing up in a multi-ethnic and tri-lingual home was at times chaotic and yet inspired a curiosity in the topics of history and heritage. Jackie focused her studies on performance art and painting and was drawn to the work of feminist artists and identity-based artists. After graduating from art school and returning home to Baltimore, Jackie sought out experimental time-based art, and eventually went on to collaborate in the production and curation of this kind of work in her community. To this day Milad considers her large-scale painting-collage practice to be rooted in performance art and experimental practices. Jackie Milad lives in Baltimore City with her son and artist-musician husband. She currently works full-time in the studio and serves as faculty & mentor in the low-residency MFA program and Curatorial Practice MFA program at Maryland Institute College of Art.
