The Wrapsody
February 11, 2022 – May 15, 2022
The Wrapsody explores Black hair, beauty, ritual, and memory with a suite of short films, interwoven together by archival images and commentary from the matriarchs of Miller’s family. Alternating between documentary, experimental shorts and mixed media, each film navigates the viewer through personal and collective histories, familial bonds, and the deep ties between Black women’s hair and identity. The visual anthology exists as a creative expression that pays homage to the evolution of Black beauty and the cultural and economic impact of Black hair.
