Jacob Todd Broussard

Jacob Todd Broussard's work excavates often overlooked queer histories to explore ideas of alterity, memory, and transformation. His richly layered paintings stitch together individuals, spaces, and moments from across time, blending imagined histories, mystical folklore, and his own lived experience.
