Ronald Llewellyn Jones is an artist and documentary filmmaker based in Houston, Texas. Jones’s artwork is informed by proximity and exposure to media, medium and other stimuli within a personal and shared history, present and projected future. He draws inspiration from and is influenced by oral histories and narratives within communities he has been present within or exposed to through written, spoken or visual documentation. Jones’s intentions are to catalog and address the inequities that he has experienced, while also drawing attention to a larger conversation which can help to illuminate the mechanisms that support and benefit from these disparities. With his site specific installations, Jones provides interactive experiences wherein the audience has the opportunity to deactivate the obstructions societal and cultural norms have set as boundaries and borders to breakthroughs within the personal, communal and universal. Jones’s sculptural works have existed as both guerilla installations and have also been featured in exhibitions at the Houston Museum of African American Culture, Art League Houston, Galveston Arts Center, and BOX 13 ArtSpace, among others. During Summer 2019 Jones and several other creatives founded Creatives for Asylum Seekers and Migrants (CASM).
