About me
Jeff Kasper is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and educator, specializing in public art, design, community education, and social engagement. He creates text-based projects, experimental publications, games, audio storytelling, open editions, exhibitions, and workshops, often in partnership with non-profit organizations. Kasper is a Trauma-Informed Teaching Artist certified with the Bartol Foundation. Much of his recent work merges the tools and techniques of graphic design with participatory learning to examine the dynamics of social support, proximity, and safety. His practice centers dialogical, reflective, and instructional experiences that prompt contemplation, relationship building, and serious play. Through his arts-based organizing, he opens up spaces for disability culture and imagining accessible futures. Over the last decade, he worked with various cultural, grassroots, and social planning organizations to realize over 300 public programs, publications, and exhibitions with hundreds of artists, partners, and the public at large. Civic Art Lab, the public pedagogy platform he co-founded in 2010, brings together hundreds each year for hands-on workshops and sustainability initiatives.
