Jordan Amirkhani writes about contemporary art in the US Southeast, publishing in spaces that are committed to emerging artists working in the region. She focuses on art and artists that are often ignored by major art publications and excluded from more central narratives about the state of US contemporary art, with the aim to lend more visibility and context to cultural production in the South.
