Philadelphia-based artist Jazlyne Sabree has debuted her solo exhibition, "The Spectrum of Resilience," at the newly rebranded Rowan University Museum of Contemporary Art (RUMOCA) in Glassboro, New Jersey. The show features large-scale, textured collages that utilize paint, paper, and found materials to portray members of the African Diaspora as spiritual figures and vessels of memory. The exhibition includes three new works and is scheduled to run through July 30, 2026.
This exhibition marks a significant moment for both the artist and the institution, as it is the first major show under the museum's new RUMOCA identity. Sabree’s work addresses critical themes of ancestry, displacement, and cultural survival, drawing from her own genealogical research to counter systemic erasure. By centering the resilience and joy of the African Diaspora, the show reinforces RUMOCA’s role as a vital hub for contemporary art and social dialogue in the South Jersey and Philadelphia regional art scenes.
