Virtual Artist Talk: Jazmine Hughes

Thursday July 6, 6 pm CST

Jazmine Hughes (b. 1991) is a black, lesbian writer living in New York City. Hughes has worked for the New York Times in various capacities since 2015, and, in 2022, she became a staff writer. Earlier that year, she received an award from the American Society of Magazine Editors for exceptional talent from those under 30. At the New York Times, Hughes writes largely about celebrity: joining Viola Davis in South Africa, vacationing in Italy with Whoopi Goldberg, driving around Los Angeles with Lil Nas X. Both inside her day job and out, her work is focused on power, identity, belonging and trickery. She won the 2023 National Magazine Award for profile writing.
