CHRISTOPHER PAUL JORDAN

Christopher Paul Jordan creates paintings, sculptures, and installations that act as time capsules — vessels designed to hold, bury, and connect across distances and generations. Their practice explores the afterlife of memory and the ways oral traditions are altered, preserved, and reinterpreted within the conditions of diaspora. Central to his work is a focus on continuance: how knowledge, care, and cultural memory persist through informal infrastructures and analog systems— what they refer to as “analog internets.” Drawing on both ancestral and speculative technologies, their work considers how we communicate with what is beyond reach, crafting quiet transmissions that bridge space, time, and community.
