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.
"I think culture is sometimes shaped through metaphors. Metaphors are able to hold a whole conversation in one phrase. Within Black communities, when I say, ‘What’s the weather?’ I’m asking, ‘What is the vibe? Am I welcome here?’...For my practice the weather covers all landscapes. The weather is also something I relate to how farmers function. My grandparents had to understand the weather — to figure out, how are we going to get the crops to function?" - Ariel Rene Jackson, Hyperallergic
