Hi. I’m Jeion Green and I am a Gender-non-binary artist, photographer, and an award-winning storyteller whose practice operates as Performative Praxis - rooted in the belief that sustained creative work, across disciplines and time, is its own form of art. A native of Baltimore, MD, I am an independent artist whose practice centers on autoethnographic art - a methodology that has evolved from earlier foundational self-portraiture - into a more expansive inquiry into cultural identity, memory, and lived experiences as primary source material. I am also the founder of Soleath, LLC – a 501(c)(3) nonprofit - where art, healing, community, and ambition are not separate things but expressions of one commitment. The guiding principle: the future is built by the people who return to back to it, to build it.

My current major arts collection Gesto Apparanthem (New Life) voluntas auctum (will expanded) - is a gathering of in progress, finished, and unfinished, works that speak coherently only when held together. Within this sit, aLucet Feri Vivere - Memento Mori, and Project Ocean Shores, inspired by rocket power - all engaged within/into a sustained inquiry into will, authority, and representation.

I hold a BFA from Parsons, The New School (New York City), where I pursued studies in Photography, Film, and Performance Art & Theory. I also hold a PhD in Visionary Narrative Architecture & Performative Praxis - a self-conferred doctorate from "Green University" (a university created as a part of my 501(C)(3)), in the lineage of practice-as-research scholarship.

I am recognized for producing the Oscar-contending short Tribes, Flesh & Spirit, and Boys Don't Wear Dresses - led entirely by a disabled (Autistic) cast with a majority disabled and diverse crew. Television credits include Black-ish, Career Opportunities in Murder & Mayhem, Snowfall, Reasonable Doubt, The Jennifer Hudson Show, TED the series, and Unstoppable the movie. I’ve worked with Sundance Institute's Feature Film Program International team (2018–2019) and returned to Sundance in a different role in 2023. As a 2024 & 2025 Disability Belongs Entertainment Lab finalist, i am a proud advocate for LGBTQ+ and disabled communities and I served on the board of the Baltimore County Art Guild from 2025-2026.
