about
Jill Marie Holslin is a visual artist working between digital and analog methods to explore themes of place, memory and belonging. Rooted in her experiences of over 35 years living in Mexico and Southern California, after a childhood in rural Minnesota, her art uses archives and reimagines them as a dynamic space where personal and collective histories intersect, challenging fixed narratives of land and identity. She holds an MFA from the School of Art and Design at San Diego State University and studied contemporary art and photography in several independent programs including the Contemporary Photography Program (PFC) in Mexico. In 2023 and 2024, she was awarded research grants by San Diego State University to work in the archives of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. and the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul. Her photographic and audiovisual work has been exhibited in Mexico and Latin America, the United States, and Europe and she has been recognized as a selected artist in photography awards in Baja California, Nuevo Leon and Sonora, Mexico. In 2025, her video-essay was selected in the Concurso of Experimental Video of Baja California. As an arts writer, her essays have been published in exhibition catalogs and academic and arts publications. She has lived in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, since 2011.
