JANE GILLOOLY is a non-fiction video and media artist. She is committed to the art of narrative, how it is constructed, and how complex and often hidden histories, can be made accessible. What connects her work is an empathetic curiosity about individuals struggles, especially when history, politics and personal crises conspire. She grew up in Ferguson, Missouri. Her most recent film, Where the Pavement Ends (2019), examines the shared histories of the Missouri towns of Kinloch and Ferguson, and the deep racial divides affecting them both. Her other work ranges from the experiential in Today the Hawk Takes One Chick (2009), filmed in the Kingdom of Eswatini, to a forbidden love story, Suitcase of Love and Shame (2013), reconstructed from audiotape discovered in a suitcase purchased on eBay. The work that began her career, Leona’s Sister Gerri (1995), deftly pieces together the story of Gerri Santoro’s death from an illegal abortion and whose image galvanized the reproductive justice movement.  Her award-winning work has been screened internationally at museums and festivals. Gillooly is a Guggenheim Fellow and a Professor of the Practice Emeritus in Media Arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University.,
