Jade Johnson is an artist and illustrator whose practice ranges from colourful illustrations of her cats to exploring her mixed British and Indigenous Taiwanese identity. Having created a colouring book exploring different indigenous tribe's relationship with colour, for the ‘Medical Association of Indigenous Peoples of Taiwan', Jade has been interested in the role art plays in healing. She hopes to continue incorporating healing into her practice; through promoting the rediscovery of forgotten indigenous handcrafts and inviting young indigenous peoples to learn these skills from their elders. Jade believes this will help promote ethnic identity of youth, alleviate loneliness of the elderly, and strengthen the bonds between generations. Ultimately Jade's aim is to apply her art to social causes she cares about, in whatever form that might be.

#WhoseFuture represents an age-old struggle for youth resilience, security, agency and the need for positive social change. Celebrating a striking portfolio of bold visual imagery from Rising's network of young creatives, this project presents a unique opportunity for us all to listen, reflect and act, and for our young people to be heard.
Rising Arts Agency is a community of young creative thinkers aged 16-30. Their mission is to empower Bristol's under-represented young people to fulfil their creative ambitions and to affect wider social change through the arts. The agency is co-created with and for young people, and is fiercely independent.
