About Jordan Weber
Jordan Weber is a New York-based regenerative land sculptor and activist who works at the intersection of social justice and environmental-apartheid through grassroots collaboration in industrial polluted neighborhoods such as St. Louis, Minneapolis, Detroit, Red Hook, NY, Boston and Des Moines, Iowa. In 2020 Weber was commissioned by Walker Art Center to create an urban phytoremediation farm in North Minneapolis which acts as a counter tactic to industrial violence upon biodiverse lands and racially diverse communities. The project was produced in collaboration with North Minneapolis community members at the height of the George Floyd protests. Most recently Weber was appointed as the inaugural Yale University artist in residence to build an environmental-humanities focused project at Horse Island for the Black and Indigenous student body population. Honors include the 2023 Guggenheim Award, 2022 United States Artist Award, 2021 Harvard LOEB Fellow, 2020 Joan Mitchell Award, 2019 Creative Capital Award.
