Black\stract: techniques & storytelling in Black abstraction
solo show | NeueHouse Hollywood | los angeles | february 2025
Black\stract is a multidisciplinary art exhibit that reimagines Black identity and futures through the lens of abstraction.
miela’s work delves into the power of abstraction as a vehicle for liberation and transformation. by blending individuality with shared experiences, Black\stract offers a vision of Black creativity that is both deeply personal and expansively collective. through vibrant compositions, the exhibit invites audiences to reflect on the infinite possibilities of what Blackness can be.
this show uses themes as a framework for reflection:
[figures & forms] celebrating individuality through abstract shapes
[why so blue?] using the color blue as a narrative device for alienation
[patternists] patterns as a vehicle to multifaceted identities
[mosaics] identity as a mosaics of interconnected stories
through Black\stract, we celebrate the expressive, the evolving, and the boundless. this is more than an art exhibit—it is an invitation to reflect, connect, and imagine expansive Black futures.
