Jova Lynne is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, video, performance, and installation to examine identity, power, and the body as a site of personal and political transformation. Grounded in her Jamaican heritage, Lynne’s work often interrogates how selfhood is constructed through memory, mythology, and collaborative inquiry. She holds an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BA in Film/Video from Hampshire College. Lynne’s recent and upcoming solo exhibitions include The Color of You at the Buffalo Institute of Contemporary Art (2026), Convergence at Sculpture Center in Cleveland (2024), and Split at Matéria Gallery in Detroit (2023). Her work has also been featured in major group exhibitions such as the Kingston Biennial at the National Gallery of Jamaica (2024), Luminosity at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History (2025), and State of the Art II, a nationally touring exhibition presented at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and partnering institutions (2020–2022). Lynne has held residencies and fellowships at Yaddo (2024), Anderson Ranch Arts Center (2022), Mass MoCA (2020), Halcyon Arts Lab (2020), Vermont Studio Center (2020), and Loghaven (2026). Her work is included in major collections such as the Harvard Art Museums, the Detroit Institute of Arts, Cranbrook Art Museum, the Wedge Collection, and the Progressive Art Collection. Lynne’s practice has been profiled in The New York Times, ArtForum, HyperAllergic, Document Journal, The Detroit News, and Runner Magazine, among others. She lives and works in Detroit, MI.
