Featured in Jackson's 2022 Artpace exhibition. Ariel René Jackson’s exhibition, "Remember This House: A global story" investigates colorism, nationality, and inheritance. The artist utilizes video, found objects, printing, painting, and fiber work to create scenes and experiences from their cultural past to inspire a global conversation.

"Jackson shared the story of their grandparents, who as sharecroppers once grew rice, soybeans, and crawfish on nearly 300 acres of farmland. Jackson questioned how their family’s legacy could be maintained when they themselves don’t have any interest in farming. This dilemma is explored in their work, which looks at concepts established by several different authors as foundational influences.

"Citing Katherine McKittrick’s book “Demonic Grounds” and the writings of Edouard Glissant, Jackson discussed geography, space, and landscapes as integral to understanding the lives and histories of Black people in America. They also referenced Christina Sharpe’s book “In the Wake” during a rumination on the complexities of joy, its relationship to grief and “the Blues,” and how we can best learn to form perspectives and exist outside the ideas and tropes that others would have us adopt." - Hunter Bos, The Daily

"Gray Traditions" stems from the artist's grandmothers description of her experiences growing up and appearing racially ambiguous, calling it the "gray zone."
