Praise for We Are Here

“Highlighting a collection of our most talented Black and Brown creatives to date, this book is a brilliant documentation of what is happening inside the artist studio. Jasmin insists that we pay attention because history is in the making, and We Are Here is the visual manifesto declaring that we are here to stay!”

“Here in vibrant photographs and the words of the artists, curators, gallerists, and cultural instigators themselves are profiles of 50 of today's vital creative forces—or 51, counting Jasmin Hernandez herself. They are indeed here, and we can all be grateful for it.”
director and chief curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem

“A feast for the eyes and soul, Jasmin Hernandez has curated a mélange of visionary artists and creatives who are redefining contemporary art. And in doing so, she’s providing a necessary compendium that will awaken your senses, enlighten your mind, and nourish your spirit.”
