Jeanette Martín is a Chicana community-based artist, cultural worker, educator, and digital architect. Born to parents who immigrated to the Midwest as economic refugees, she started organizing at 16 during the push for the DREAM Act and to stop the passage of H.R. 4437.  It was during these campaigns that she began using art as a tool to amplify stories of other youth.
 
She uses her skills and vision to co-create cultural and dignified community spaces that use art and storytelling as a tool to bridge communities together. She is passionate about storytelling as a form of healing, amplification, and resistance.
 
Jeanette is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2012), where she earned her BFA in Printmaking and Painting and Chicanx/Latinx Studies. As well as the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a Master of Arts in Art Education (2014).
