Khadija Jahmila (b. 1993, Maryland) is an Afro-Caribbean mixed-media artist, creative entrepreneur, and art educator whose work blends hand-cut paper and digital collage to explore Afrofuturistic themes and surrealism. Her vibrant creations celebrate the humanity, beauty, intersectionality, and otherworldliness of the African diaspora, merging the speculative with the fantastical to create immersive visual narratives.
As part of the 2025 Residency cohort at Eaton House, Jahmila is creating unique art programming for the hotel and the larger DC metro area. In addition to her artistic practice, she teaches mixed-media art to young students, co-instructs creative sessions for adults living with dementia and their care partners, and facilitates workshops that encourage playful exploration of collage and visual storytelling.
Jahmila was the Season Artist for Baltimore Center Stage’s 2024–2025 season, designing key visuals for all six productions. Her artwork, featured across websites, programs, social media, and physical installations for the season, captures the essence of each play while collaborating closely with directors and playwrights to ensure alignment with the productions' artistic vision.
In 2020, Jahmila received the NextGen Award from VisArts in Rockville, MD. Her work has been exhibited in shows and retail spaces across Washington, DC, and Maryland, including Eaton DC, Waller Gallery, 11:Eleven Gallery, and VisArts.
