Significant group exhibitions include Flight Into Egypt at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2024), Greater New York (2021) and the Whitney Biennial (2019). Jemison’s work is part of many public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Stedelijk Museum, Castello di Rivoli, the Whitney Museum, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
