I have an ongoing practice of spelling my name JJJJJerome Ellis. I do this because the word I stutter on most frequently is my name. You can spell it JJJJJerome or Jerome, however you prefer.
Every once in a while, I go to look up an artist that I love just to see what they're up to.
JJJJJerome Ellis is one of those artists who describes himself as a disabled animal, artist, and person who stutters. Through music, performance, writing, video, and photography, JJJJJerome asks what stuttering can teach us about justice.
Here are some recent projects of his, I wanted to share!
JJJJJerome is participating in an exhibition in New York called Glot, titled after a Greek-origin suffix meaning “to have a tongue,” - an exhibition about spoken language and its limits.
JJJJJerome recently released a new compilation of music in December 2023. You can listen to it on bandcamp!

The Stammering Collective is a beautiful website "documenting conversations and essays about the clinical, cultural, and, creative strands that reflect different experiences of stammering".
Watch this beautiful video poem produced by JJJJJerome that intersects Blackness and stuttering.
