ABOUT
As a director and photographer, Jasdeep's storytelling strikes a subtle balance between reality and fantasy, where time is traveled and spirits are present. She is most inspired by death, the earth, and dreamworlds, believing that these three hold the power to inspire healing and collective change.
Jasdeep has worked extensively with different artists through Art & America, Surface Magazine’s Cover Story on the Guerrilla Girls, and a 14 episode documentary titled flow state which won two NY Emmy in Arts & Entertainment. HBOMax, i-D, KQED Arts have regarded Jasdeep as an up and coming director to watch. Her works have screened at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the Herbert Von King Cultural Arts Center, Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley.
Additionally Kang is a DJ, Jakari Wing, and cofounder of Disco Auntie, a quarterly queer NYC dance party and DJ collective platforming the music of the South Asian diaspora, and all its overlapping cultures and influences.
"Kang’s collaborations are mighty, perhaps due to the care with which the
filmmaker decides her projects."
