Jodi Darby (b. 1971) is a media artist, activist and educator specializing in experimental video and photography.
Her work reflects an interest in re-purposing history, mapping the changing North American landscape and
finding beauty in that which has been discarded and abandoned. Her projects seek to amplify stories that often
go unheard while pushing back at the narratives of dominant culture. She has exhibited at venues including
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Washington Project for the Arts (DC)
Interference Archive (New York), Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco)
Anthropology Film Archives (New York), the Portland Art Museum (Portland) and the Henry Art Gallery (Seattle)
Darby has developed curriculum and taught in Portland State University's School of Art + Design, the Pacific Northwest
College of Art, Portland YouthBuilders, Open Signal Community Media, POWGirls, the Bodecker Foundation and Outside
the Frame. She lives in Portland where she teaches in the Video and Sound department at the Pacific Northwest
College of Art.
